Nebulon 5000

Welcome to the Nebulon 5000! This intergalactic endurance race is the talk of the galaxy -- despite the constant UFO problem.  As course manager, you must place tiles to ensure that the competitors can continue onwards while aliens destroy your track. Choose from options like slime pits, moneymakers, and UFO defense towers while the lunar rovers gradually gain speed. Keep an eye on your funds!

Made by Shreesha Yelameli and Stephen Rubino for the 2025 GMTK Game Jam.
