A downloadable game for Windows

YCOM: Enemy Unlikely is a free demake-parody of the game XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It was created during the 2013 UofT Game Making Deathmatch - a time when I was totally obsessed with XCOM. I wanted to try and take the experience of XCOM and condense it into a faster paced (albeit simpler) form. Since the first release, I pushed out a few extra updates adding grenades, a local multiplayer mode, and multiple difficulty levels

YCOM has been featured on IndieGames.com as a Freeware Pick. It was also showcased on IndieStalk and VideoGamerTV.

If you have any comments about the game, or are interested in other games I've made, check out my website.
