It's a little "Shoot'Em Up Scoring Game", where you only have 10 seconds of firepower to take down as many ennemies as possible. (It means that your ship can only fire during 10 seconds). Every wasted ammo lower your score, so you'll also need to aim accuratly.
I tried to make something original with sounds effects, but i'm not sure that it really works. You'll be judge.
------------------------
Controls : Arrow key to move, Space to shoot
Technology : Java + LibGDX
Instruction :
Just double-click the .jar file.
You may need a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run the game (Pre-installed on most system as far as i know)
Please report any problems and have fun !
Don't forget to submit your best score in the comments below. Mine is 36270 pts.
It's fun and it looks really nice, but I lack the inovation a bit. I think you could improve this game with upgrades or different enemies. For example enemies who decrease the time limit...
Cool interpretation of the theme! It's an OK shooter, but you really need some different enemies/challenge to make this game interesting. It didn't even seem like there were more enemies being generated.
Indeed an interesting take on the the theme. I just feel like a smaller game area would have benefit the game (or more enemies) because the space just feels so empty and boring.
@fdevant I'm sorry but i can't do anything about it, i don't have a mac to test and fix the problem. I just assumed it would have work as any java application. I removed the link for OSX. Thanks for reporting it.
Hell, that was pretty addicting for something so simple, liked the concept, you could improve it into something bigger, but didn't like the music so much P.S.: What's with the girl?
I finally added a Web version. It only work with Chrome though. Thanks for playing and for your comments.
I know the game lacks diversity, i wasn't able to implement more on this very busy week-end. I'd like to add a combo system that i originally planned, and improve ennemies' behaviour and spawning as soon as i'll get time to do it.
I found this game kinda fun, with the amount of "waste" thats listed and what not, makes you really want to save your bullets to last. Very good use of theme. I featured it in my video compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOZnQrkIteE
Good to see more libGDX games using GWT web version! Your submission even worked perfecly fine in firefox! My highest score was somewhere around 22k!:)
It's an interesting idea - take points for misses.
Don't understand how the girl on the title screen related with the game.
