The goal of this project was to get acquainted with the Unity game engine, by creating a full game, and showcasing a few different things :

Simple core gameplay: the game emulates the popular Tower defense genre, where you stop enemies by building towers.
Additional elements relying on engine features: In order to function, your towers have to be powered by a laser system, which uses raycasting. This forces the player to optimize his layout, and sometimes redirect the laser, adding a puzzle game dimension to the game.
Polished human interaction: The game controls are intended to be enjoyable and intuitive.
UI: Menus and HUD were implemented, in order to get familiar with Unity’s UI.
Some sort of AI: Both the probes and aliens explore the world, and therefore need to show convincing behaviours.

The game was made with Unity (C#), using a few free art assets.
