Taco Tommy: The Martian Adventure 

Gameplay Description:

Taco Tommy: The Martian Adventure (TT:TMA) is a top-down survival shooter inspired by games like Survivor.io and Brotato. Developed in Unreal Engine 5 with C++ (and a touch of Blueprints), the game puts you in the boots of Tommy, an astronaut whose mission on Mars has gone terribly wrong.

Your objective: survive as long as possible. Armed with weapons and upgrades, you’ll fight off relentless waves of alien attackers. Each round is cleared by eliminating every alien on the field, but with each victory, the challenge grows—the alien numbers increase, and the pressure to stay alive intensifies.

The game ends only when you fall, making every choice in combat critical to pushing your survival further into the Martian unknown.

Dower Tefence 

Gameplay Description:

Dower Tefence is a top-down tower defense game inspired by classics like Bloons Tower Defense and Plants vs. Zombies. Built in Unreal Engine 5 with C++ (and a touch of Blueprints), the game challenges players to defend their base against endless waves of enemies.

Your goal is simple: survive for as many rounds as possible. To do so, you’ll strategically place towers around the enemy’s path, cutting them down before they reach your base. Each enemy defeated rewards you with gold, which can be used to purchase new towers or upgrade existing ones.

As the rounds progress, the challenge intensifies, more enemies, tougher waves, and greater pressure on your defences. The game only ends when your base finally falls, so every placement and upgrade counts.
