Walldefender, a 2D Arcade/Defense Game for Linux

Walldefender is a 2D arcade/defense game.The purpose of the game is to defend the walls from alien attacks.You shoot aliens, get points and upgrade your weapons.It is a typical 2D defense game but we love it because it is available on linux :) I do not like Java stuff, but it is hard to find defense games on linux so we will give it a try now.








Installation :

Current version of Walldefender is 0.45 Alpha and it is actively developed.So it is better to update your source often.(Just re-do the installation step to upgrade, for now.)

Let's start downloading the files, open a terminal and download it via wget :

$wget -c http://walldefender.googlecode.com/files/WallDefender.tar.gz

Extract the compressed file and delete it :

Navigate to the folder that is created (It is better to download and extract the compressed file to a pre-defined games folder or whatever you use, i am using /home/USERNAME/SVN/Games for example.):

$cd WallDefender/

Make the .jar file executable and run the game via :

$chmod +x walldefender.jar && java -jar walldefender.jar
