A good take on the theme! I liked this one a lot. Has a surprisingly strategic element too, as you really need to free up space to give yourself room to move.
This is an interesting concept. I think that the game would be improved if the screen aspect ratio was changed to the original arcade 3:4. That would have made the levels short (also there should have been infinite levels of escalating difficulty.)
I liked this game overall, the whole flip around on classic space invaders was very innovative, I did find it a bit difficult at times and that did sap some of the enjoyment out of it, I thought this was an absolute excellent take on the theme and a very interesting one at that and don't be harsh on your self with the audio I find that it suits the mood perfectly and makes it better, good job overall so well done.
Thanks for all the wonderful feedback! I had a blast this time around. Last time I made something way too simple and practically finished on the first night but this one kept me going much longer. Overall, my funnest LD yet!
I've found a couple of these retro games with role reversal, can't get enough of them. I didn't know what was going on at first, but as soon as I did it was "ohhhhhh yeaaaaah".
I had a similar idea at first, so it was nice to try your take on it. I think the 'action' only gets going once you have only a few ships left. The downside is, at first you will most likely lose some of your swarm quite easily. (To a point where I didn't bother trying to evade for the first bit) Some enhancements in this 'early game' might be nice. (However at the moment I wouldn't know what to suggest for this early phase)
Controls felt a little slow at times, but it was a nice fit for the theme overall.
If the music is not yours, why did you include it? You are not supposed to include anything that is not yours and created during the LD. You should've entered a JAM. While you opted out from the Music scoring, the music still affects Overall, Fun and Mood. I think this is against the rules. While I really liked the game, I think you shouldn't have done that.
@KaiseanGames I did make the music. I imagine you got the impression that I didn't make it from my comment "Music is not my thing" but I simply meant that I am really bad at making music.
I followed the rules and created everything you see/hear in the game. I take the rules very seriously because I really enjoy this type of event.
