My very first submission after 4 previous failed attempts!!! And first time learning and using Unity this past week. I originally wanted to do loot drops for "unconventional weapons" but I almost had it and ran out of time so I turned the basketball "weapon" into a health pickup instead.

WASD to move, Enter to shoot.
Go to Options to adjust volume in the beginning.

Here's a Link the the Web Player build:

I hope at least 1 person can have fun with it :D

Also, here's a link to my Post Mortem if you're interested

Your web link is a dropbox download. Web means that the game is playable directly on the web itself. You should update the link appropriately to avoid frustrating people. :)

Played it, got a score of 7125. The game is nice and runs flawlessly on Linux with Wine, but I don't see how it fits into the theme. Maybe I'm missing something.

@Jordan, thanks for playing and glad it ran on Linux!
I originally was going to do loot drops of different and crazy weapons but I ran out of time :(

Fun game!

Your first entry? Well, you did a better job than I did.
Nice retro style, nice gameplay!

Hehehe, I used that same sprite set in another game I built (thanks Kenny). Good work on your first jam. Keep it up.

Thanks everyone again! I really appreciate it :D

@F. Wiktora, I got close to finishing one for "You Only Get One" and I ended up finishing it few days or so after and it's pretty bad :P (and it was only for 2 players)

I plan on improving and adding to this since it's my first and I had a ton of fun working on it and hope to make it better!

Really nice vertical space shooter. Not a particularly original concept but quite good fun. The menu is very clean and functional and the in game graphics were consistent. Good entry overall.

It needs some love. It plays flat. Good start though.

Good game! Just does not fit the theme of an unconventional weapons.

Not really on theme (I can definitely understand that one), but a simple, effective game nonetheless.

Great job for picking up Unity for the first time! Keep going, never stop! You'll only get better and better.

Good start! I felt like the ships moved way too fast. Keep making games :)

Fast paced and enjoyable, and looks good to boot. Not sure how it fits the theme though.

Solid and fun game!
Only the ships are a bit too fast and it would be nice if you could hold the shoot button instead of hammering it.

Awesome entry! The game was very fast-paced, which I think in the long run contributed to the overall feel. The art and sound were incredible (its a shame you opted out of those categories). This entry felt very polished. Nice job!
