It was just me, a 3 year old, 4 year old and 12 year old this weekend. They weren't interested in helping me (selfish kids :P). This is what I ended up doing. I had fun in between doing this and playing Barbie.
Instructions ------------ Little Square is back for another Ludum Dare! This time, he must protect his base from them naughty invaders.
YOU ONLY GET ONE.... COLOUR! You get to pick which one, although there is only a choice of three :)
Controls -------- A/D = Left/Right Space or Left Mouse= Shoot
To Do ----- - Only had time to implement two types of enemy, need more! - Add base repair - Progression is just spawn rate, would be nice to add different size and shape worlds - Fix enemy spawn positioning - Fix enemy collisions
Sounded nice, and a nice twist on space invaders. Didn't really use the theme very much though. It did seem to be a bit short, maybe spawning the enemies slower would have been nice. The controls were odd too, would have liked space to fire, if I was using the keyboard.
Nice variation on Space Invaders/Missile Command that I really enjoyed... until they blew up my base! :~) It's a bit of a disadvantage that you can't see all enemies at once, I often didn't know which way to go to kill the nasty bleeping enemies before they fired. Also nice music and sfx.
Really like the idea of this, not sure why but there's always something about moving around in a circle or on a sphere that's interesting. I'd love to see this polished up into something bigger! Very fun, lots of possibilities going forward with it :)
This is fantastic but a little weak on the theme. The only thing I would change is your fonts. It looks like you are using bold times roman or something. I think you should go here for inspiration: http://www.thealmightyguru.com/GameFonts/Series-Retro.html
Theme is represented only superficially -- it would have been cool if the color you picked affected the way the game played somehow. Core gameplay is pretty good -- if you took this further I'd suggest adding additional enemy types, some type of weapons power ups or defensive power ups. Pretty decent game!

Fun game, very intuitive to play, and with a smooth ramp up in difficulty as you go.

Top score: 650ish, wave no. 5
I like games on "round planets"! :) It was quite challenging though! :D
I didn't really understand what's the purpose of the colour, though! XD
