You are a fighter jet pilot sent on a mission to fend off hostile attackers. On this mission you will use the F-01 Fighter Jet, which is an early prototype of the more common know F-16 Fighter Jet. The jet works fine, but it is hard to control, since there is only one button to control the jet.
----- I have the source code committed to github, but I have no experience with distributing linux software. To build the game you will need the SDL1.2 core, image, mixer and ttf libraries. I have also ported the game to Windows, so more people will be able to play my game.
Insanely hard to control, but interesting concept. It feels like a blend of space invaders + shmup + tetris. But I already said so on TS,.. props for actually finishing! (Nagato 2014! shameless plug)
Fun idea. I found it worked best to just somewhat align the jet under an enemy and then mash the space bar to spray shots in the general direction of the enemy. Rinse and repeat, got me a score of 18, I think.
This was really cool! It's just like Tetris and Space Invaders combined like Nardom said. The control scheme really added a strategic feel to the game and it tied to the theme nicely!
Sounds, better graphics, powerups(?), different enemies and the like would all have been cool, but I liked it as is, good job.
There should have been sound, but in the end I had a problem with it, which I did not have resolved yet. I had been thinking about powerups, but I decided to get some sleep instead :)
The premise is innovative and an awesome use of the theme but it was not executed well. Perhaps a visible queue of upcoming moves would help? Also removing useless combinations like Up + Down
Hey, nice concept, I like it a lot! Longer steps could might be more useful for better tactical use of the upcoming maneuvers. Otherwise I just kept on bashing the space, until I got into a position to shoot. Sometimes I just kept circling in one corner with aliens keeping to the other, which was a bit tiresome.

Nice and challenging. Good job!
