Congratulations! You are the first commander of the first Earth base in Mars! Only one problem.... The base is being attacked by some weird martian creatures! The base is not fully operational yet, but we were able to install the electrical shield in front of the base, and a manual generator for power.
Best of luck, commander!
Instructions:
1- PRESS Left arrow key or 'A' to generate power
2- PRESS and HOLD Right arrow key pr 'D' to turn on the shield
3- Press Space Bar to skip dialogue

This is my third Ludum Dare! And first time releasing a game in Unity!
I was actually going to make this game in my own engine, but I got a project going that will use Unity, so I decided to practice it in LD!
This entry was actually pretty hard for me to make, I was really tired, a lot of setbacks... BUT I manage to overcome all my obstacles and finished the game!
It's not perfect and I don't think it's a winner (not that I actually compete in LD), but I'm actually happy with the result! Learned a lot too making this game!
I hope you enjoy playing it! And remember to comment so I can play your game too!!
Congratulations to all!!

Ok graphics and not a lot of balance. It is way too hard. It needed some way to regen your overall base health. Better than anything I could put together in 48 hours though!
@MestreRothWP @Jstank Why thank you for playing and for the compliments! I'm sorry it was too hard, but it was intentional ^^; It's supposed to remind of those games that you had to press a button frenetically~
@jigalx Thank you for playing! I'm sorry it frustrated you ^^; But you can actually press 'A' too, so it gets a bit easier! I added in the description~
All your base are belong to us! I liked the idea. Thank you for adding the ability to speed through the story. A score of some sort would be good. Well done :)
These function are cruel to implement after everyone spent the weekend pounding away at the keyboard! Nice mechanics, loved it! I thought the description meant you hadn't finished the game, but I was pleasantly surprised to see what it was!
Well done. Would of been interesting to been able to actually surrender and see if I would actually be sent home as promised. Also, figured out if you use A and Left while holding right, you can breeze through the game.
Argh my fingers... The writing is actually pretty good and everything kept me interested until slimeking ate my base. The audio and music came off extremely well! Reminds me of the early days of videogames when I was littler.
Nice narration and mood. Graphics style was a bit inconsistent (e.g. hp/power bars didn't fit). Gameplay was very challenging, both for me and my keyboard. Overall, not bad!
*holds right button forever while smashing both A and left arrow key* Welp...that wasnt so hard (unless you call me cheater ^^; ) I liked how the base reminded me of someones head, couldnt remember what though. Very nicely done game overall :)
I like the idea. Graphics and audio are fitting well together. I don't think it's too hard, only the boss is a bit challenging to destroy. Overall a good entry!
Wow! Thank you all for playing and for the feedback! @Grahhhhh What part made you think I hadn't finish the game? I'll gladly change the text so it won't be confusing anymore ^^
@XenosNS I actually did think about having the option to surrender, but I though that would spoil the fun... and I think they would enslave you anyway xp. Oh yes, that's a valid strategy, but the real challenge is to play with only one hand~!
@SSJMetroid Wow that's impressive! I think I was able to beat without taking damage only once xp
@anv Thank you for the feedback! Indeed some of the assets was really rushed (specially the bars)... Hope it didn't spoil the fun though...
@AzureAspect Oh don't worry, I won't call you a cheater, but that was really the "easy mode" ;) Yeah, I think it's funny how the base ended up being xp I actually intended to be something between Starcraft Command Center and DragonBall Capsule Corp kkkk
@loxo I'm glad you liked it! I'm impressed with your skills!
It was just my interpretation of "The base is not fully operational yet, but we were able to install the electrical shield in front of the base, and a manual generator for power".. I thought it meant in terms of game dev haha
A good game. Pretty interesting how you could make a tower defense game based on two button controll. And the storry, thou simple, kept me in the game till the end :)
Very nicely done! Great button masher game. I don't think it is too hard, actually. I got to the boss level and almost finished him off. Really nice graphics and music as well. Great job!
Everybody here is saying the game is hard, but I found it to be too easy, because you can hold the right arrow key and mash the left at the same time. My shields and health never went down so I guess I'm just really good at mashing :P. What was a little lacking in gameplay was made up for in the rocking soundtrack!
Nice entry here, first try it's very hard until we figure out that we can use the shield same time as we recharge it. But my keyboard doesnt really like to be smashed so I lose at third try against the boss (I didnt lose any pv until the wave before) Well done. ;)
wooo~~! This game is so fun don't know how these pillar use at first but when the game progress start,with these text storytelling~ everything go be fun~~(btw ,love the cute bgm!~) happy newyear~
Awesome entry. Together, with the combined efforts of my sister's and mine, we have wiped out the entire race. We did it. Genocide. =;_;= Keep up the good work!
@Nihilaleph Yeah, we probably were the bad guys, but in war against an immobile object, they had the option to give up or flee and they decided to not. After consideration, their mistake! xD
I managed to reach the last boss and even bring him down to some really dark state, but eventually couldn't make it. For the sake of my fingers I decided not to play again (please, no button mashers >.< ).
Aside from that, the entry is pretty solid, even if it's not a top-notch one. Good job. ;)
