Note: Fixed. Now it is just an executable. Easy to run.
This is a game in which you fight enemies and grow upon defeating them. However, since that on its own isn't much, I decided to add a tone matrix that is activated based on the hue and brightness of the enemies you kill. In this project, I ended up learning an efficient way to add synthesized sound to a Java game by using an API called JSyn.
This is my first time in this contest, and honestly the first time I've made a game that wasn't just a copy of another already made, like Tetris or Tic-Tac-Toe. It's not the best, but I'm proud that I was able to finish.
Problems/Things I would have changed if I had had time:
-The audio being static-y when too much is going on (It needs fade)
-The pause menu/start screen/death menu not being so basic
-Adding more difficulty (maybe in modes)
-The interface for the pause menu being more spread out
-Button feedback
-A better background
-More shot sytles/options
-More enemy AI styles
-A description of the cost of upgrades
-Upgrade decimals rounding off
-More rotation fanciness
