Pyramids TD Concept

Pyramids (Tower Defense)

Player builds pyramids (towers) to stop creeps from stealing their treasure (gems or whatever that are carried away) from a main temple/base area. Each Treasure represents a life and when all are removed, the player loses. Treasure can be reclaimed by clicking it once the creep carrying it dies and drops it.

Each map has a set path which creeps follow. Player gets a small amount of starting gold to build towers and earns more gold per kill.

The Player gains exp for each kill and completing maps, each time the player levels up they can pick a new perk/upgrade from the upgrades tree (each perk unlocks the next one in its branch). Max player level is 25 (level 25 is also required to unlock final map/level and complete the game)
