Photon Invasion

Sci-fi top down, twin-stick (ish) shooter with light-based mechanics.

You are the lone survivor in a spaceship in the middle of deep space. Your job before all this happened was to light the way for the rest of the crew. The defense systems have been activated and there's crazy aliens and ghosts aboard as well. The good news. Everything is light sensitive and you have a light! Only problem is some of your batteries for your colored lights are low.

Fill up your batteries and find your way out of the ship!

Controls:
WASD Move
Aim with your mouse

Cool idea! Couldn't figure out how to combine the light colors, though, so I got stuck pretty fast.

Thanks! You have to shine our primary color on another primary color to mix them.

The music was pretty intense :)
It seemed like there were supposed to be enemies, but I made it through the exit without seeing any.

Hmm, couldn't figure out how to switch lights. You probably already know, but it would be good if the ship rotated based on your direction. I love the level artwork, and, dang that start screen is awesome! Plus, I like the overall idea and the color mixing.

Fixed the enemy issue, and thank you for all the great feedback!

You need to charge up a light (via ground chargers) in order to switch to it.

The idea seems really interesting!
In contrast to what someone has said before, the enemies are now crowed, like all you can do is RUN! :D
Would be nice if there was some health regeneration station or just over time.
There seem to be some graphical glitches when getting too close to a wall.

Interesting concept, and I liked the overall atmosphere. The enemies were really hard to avoid, as they were too fast and numerous (for me anyway). Nice work!

interesting concept, the intro documentation was helpful as well. GUI was polished. Ran into a few little issues here and there, but overall good work!
