Iced Defense

Inspiration

Iced Defense was inspired by my love for flying drones and my favorite game genre — tower defense. I wanted to blend both into one fun VR experience where you’re not just placing defenses, but actually flying the defense yourself.

What It Does

You fly a combat drone to protect your small town from waves of invading enemies trying to destroy your buildings. The longer you survive, the higher your score.

Built With

• Unity Engine
• VR tools and physics

Major Challenge

Getting the drone (and enemies) to fly properly was the hardest part. Making their movement feel smooth and natural in 3D space took a lot of trial and error.

Accomplishments

• Successfully combining drone flying and tower defense in VR
• Creating a fully playable VR defense experience

What I Learned

Using head tracking for targeting makes air combat feel way more natural than using a thumbstick. It really boosts immersion.

What’s Next for Iced Defense

• More enemy types
• New weapon options
• More ways to make the game intense and fun
