Oversauced

A free browser game that flips tower defense on its head: instead of destroying enemies, you sauce each dish to the diner's exact liking. Too much sauce and he storms out — wipe the excess off with the Desaucinator.

Oversauced — sauce it right, not too much

How Oversauced plays

  1. 1
    Sauce the dishes, don't destroy them

    Dishes travel toward a diner who eats everything you send. Towers apply different sauces — ketchup, mustard, mayo, salt — and each dish has an order to match.

  2. 2
    Watch the wave's fullness goal

    His fullness rises and falls with how well you sauced each dish, and every wave sets a target. Miss it and he leaves — so read the current goal before rebuilding your towers.

  3. 3
    Desaucinate the excess

    You're a trigger-happy connoi-saucer: dishes will end up Oversauced. The Desaucinator wipes surplus sauce off — use it instead of scrapping an overdone plate.

  4. 4
    Upgrade between waves

    Coins buy tower upgrades between waves (shortcut: N for next wave, F for speed). Two levels make up the prototype — roughly a ten-minute session.

More sauce is not better: each dish lists its recipe in the in-game menu (M). Overshooting counts against the wave just like undershooting — that's the Desaucinator's whole job.

FAQ

Is Oversauced free?

Yes — a free browser prototype, playable above with no download or account.

How long is it?

Two levels, about ten minutes. It's an early prototype, so treat it as a slice of the concept rather than a finished game.

What does the Desaucinator do?

It removes excess sauce from a dish — your recovery tool when a tower overshoots the recipe.

Does "oversauced" mean something else?

In cooking, oversauced just means too much sauce on the food — the game name is a pun on exactly that. It's also the name of an unrelated indie mobile studio; this page is about the browser game.

Who made it?

Oversauced is an indie prototype by developer Brondix95, built in Godot.
