Triad was created in under 48 hours for Ludum Dare 27. It's a mixture of top-down shooting, puzzle, and strategy. You control three unique soldiers, playing them each one by one for 10 seconds. Each soldier overlaps in time with the previously played soldiers. Use their abilities in combination to eliminate all hostile defence turrets.
To run the game on Windows the executable must be in the same folder with the accompanied DLL files. To run the .love
file, you'll need LÖVE 0.8, which you can download from its homepage.
You can find all the source code and assets for the game at its GitHub repository. Everything is licensed under the zlib/libpng license.
Here's a timelapse of my 35 hours work putting the game together, compressed into 3.5 minutes.
