  • That intro was epic! The game, well, space invaders like the name implies - with a nice backing track too. You get overwhelmed very quickly, because those Red DJs multiply like rabbits but sadly your firepower remains the same - balance that out a bit and I'd love to carry on playing, perhaps to see a 'game won' video as fun as the intro one was!

thank you for playing… I agree β˜οΈ with the red DJz overruns. I am testing out a new algorithm and looking at adding new objects as well in a future update. Thanks for the feedback! We will take down Ragnar and save the music!

Nice entry!

This was very entertaining and quite well put together too. The music was killer, but could definitely have used some sounds for the gameplay itself!

I love the whole concept and game mechanics itself. Hiding the cursor and allowing full screen properly would help a lot for people playing on PC versus a phone I think. I plan to come play more, but this is the highest score I could get in 5 playthroughs!

GREAT GAME!! I liked the continously changing art style in the intro

Developer

Wohoo πŸ₯³ thank you for the comments! How did you do in the game play?

Submitted(+1)

hhhmm not bad i guess

Developer

We must defeat Ragnar and his army of Red DJz they want to MUTE all music!

THAT UNFORGIVABE!!

Developer

The ONLY way to stop them is to play Midivaderz!

Nice music collab! I got overwhelmed by enemies during later stages of the game. Upgrades to the number of bullets shot would be nice.

Developer

thank you hero for trying to save the song 🎧 ! I think we are going to add a bouncer so not too many Red DJz can attack at a time but those Red DJz have been working on some upgrades too.

I love the intro, it's very original and the audio is also perfect, it's just a shame that there is no sound effect when you kill an enemy.

Developer

thanks for playing… thanks for compliment about the intro… it’s a great idea to add some feedback to enemy kill and the sound from the music.

Very weird vibes. I first tried to play in full screen but had to switch back.

Developer

Thanks for playing. Can you try it out on phone? I didn’t get full screen working yet.  I am working to make it work better in full screen mode.

Very cool game and cool music. My only issue is the resolution as Stiggstogg said. Well done !

Developer(+1)

Thank you πŸ™ for playing it! I have a big smile πŸ˜€ now! I will be fixing the resolution issues in an update. Great catch!

Ragnar is to hard to beat! Looks like he doesn't like frogs.  Love the music! Well done Midipunkz!

It is striking that the defense ship has a different style. Good arcade dynamics of the game

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! What epic design trait sets the defense ship apart from the rest? I had so much fun using Phaser to develop the arcade dynamics and using the audio reactivity.

symbolic graphics of a defensive ship vs. sprite graphics of attacking ships

Developer

Good point.. the Red DJz are using an image sprite and the defensive ship is drawn out using phaser api .. thanks for the feedback!

Though I'm a new comer too.

DJ DJ πŸŽ§πŸ”Š we must stop πŸ›‘ Ragnar from πŸ”‡ all the music! Thanks for your feedback… it is my first time using PhaserJS and publishing a game. Thanks for your comment and trying out the game.

Good work, but very slow. Music was great.

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing … are you talking about the red DJs being slow? Music is from the MiDiPunkz our first collab with 36 people!

Game works best in mobile!

Cool idea and great music. I really like the mechanic that you need to move the mouse to shoot, it really fits the story. It is quite simple but addictive. Some smaller things which you might want to improve:

  • Hiding the mouse cursor would make the feeling of controlling a bit better.
  • Somehow the fullscreen mode did not work properly for me. Have a look at the "scale" property of phaser in the game config. This is what I usually use and works very good:
    scale: {
            mode: Phaser.Scale.FIT,
            autoCenter: Phaser.Scale.CENTER_BOTH
    },

Had fun playing this. Well done.

I am so happy you tried out the game and spent time to give an awesome compliment.. Thank you! This is my first time using itch.io so I made a lot of changes last minute.

 I will try out the full screen trick and get back to you. 

Developer

I applied the changes and this really helped me learn more about the PhaserJs scaling/autocentering features.. I was trying to use other responsive techniques and I now realized that phaserjs is helping me. I have a new version I will release after the jam is over. Thanks again for this invaluable tip.
