Love the game. Definitely think the bomb should play something of a sound effect when dropped though
Yeah, true, I wanted to add more sounds, for the flying bomb and also for the starting colony ship but ran out of time. But it is quite easy to miss without a sound.
I love the twist of the classic space invader. It's fun and the game looks really good! Good job :)
It looks really nice :) I like how there are multiple sound effects for destroying enemies.
Thank you! The multiple explosion effects are thanks to the sound effect engine from rFXGen, extracted, adapted and integrated into the game and used to generate them on startup, so partly that was Rays work too. :-)
I was amazed at how this feels like Space Invaders, but it is more than Space Invaders; there is a reasonable and good story and purpose and I loved the art!
Thank you! I planned to put some Galaga elements in there as well, but time ran out in the end. Still I'm happy with my procedural sprites and happy that they seem to be popular.
Love the concept of trying to save a colony, and the art is amazing! Great job!
Thanks! Writing the sprite generator (all aliens/ships are generated on program start procedurally) took quite some hours, maybe pixeling the art wouldn't have taken much longer, but it was fun that way.
Really cool twist on the classic space invader game. The game is gorgeous! some music would have been nice :) Good job!
Thank you! Indeed, music would have been cool, but deciding between trying to do something with music or polishing the game, knowing my musical skills, I decided for the latter.
