A Game heavily inspired by Helldivers and a game for the Kenney Jam 2025 with the theme of POWER!

Sound Warning. Using Explosions are loud.

Use overwhelming FIREPOWER to overpower hordes of enemies!

Use 5 stratagems as your firepower. A 500 KG bomb, Mines, Sentry Gun, Hellbomb, and Orbital Barrage. Input these codes to the stratagem and watch enemies explode!

Send as much energy back to SUPER EARTH! Using the send energy Stratagem

Toggle between enemy spawn rates. Just in case your computer can't handle it or you want to have more enemies. 0.125 is the default and is balanced around that while also being able to shoot while calling down stratagems.

This game can technically be mouse only fulfilling the bonus challenge, but it wasn't balanced around it and you can input codes using WASD and arrow keys in addition to the keypad given.

Press F11 to toggle fullscreen

Stratagems:

500KG bomb
- A Quick damage dealer for fast targets
Mines
- A Tool for stopping hordes they cause explosions around themselves
Sentry Gun
- Automatically fires at the smaller enemies, cannot target larger enemies intentionally.
- Drains power from the city. Having more than two drains even more power
Hellbomb
- A Giant explosion wiping out anything in it's path
Orbital Barrage
- A Tool for softening up larger enemies and destroying random squads of enemies.
Send Energy
- A Tool to send extra energy when you have a surplus

Nicely executed project, kinda difficult when you don't play helldivers a lot but u got a good level of polish : thank you for audio volume warning in game description

Let's trade feedback! I submitted a project too.

Mechanics: You're onto something here! The key presses to summon turrets and use powers was super unexpected. It becomes about how fast you can combine keys to defend yourself! It's hard to keep up. I think the power-ups and think it's very consistent overall.
Visuals: You used a huge variety of packs to build this. Nice creativity. I'm not sure what the yellow enemies are and the castle looks jumbled but there's at least some appeal in the cartoony combination of assets and enemies.
Audio: Sounds are cool for the different abilities. Thanks for adding a warning to it, given the explosions.

Recommendations:

You need an intro-level. A safer first wave to let the player experiment with the different abilities and pacing. Expending energy felt worse when I didn't know what the powerup was in the first place. Many survival and shooter games have a safe first level so players can adjust to controls and test out the benefits of each ability.
