A simple game about protecting your planet.

Mouse - click to shoot and select things. The button can be held down to autofire.
My goals during development:
1) Learn JavaScript.
2) Learn how to present moving visuals in it without melting the computer.
3) ???
4) A game?
Turns out this kind of became a game.
This was my first Ludum Dare, and it was a blast! Coincidentally, this was also my first JavaScript game, but I'm happy that things were pretty much ready on schedule for a compo release. I'll be working on this a bit more Post-LD for sure; there were many lessons to be learnt, and many planned features which were out of scope. For one, I had a story planned out and the upgrade system was going to be much better. The UI definitely needs work as well.
- Made source code available at: https://github.com/mmKALLL/invasion-game
- Converted music into mp3 and cut off asset sources. This decreased download size by 80%.
- Fixed a bug in the collision detection; shooting now feels tigher and much more accurate.
- Fixed another bug in the collision detection; now shooting nearby enemies is a bit more forgiving.
- Fixed yet another bug related to the collision detection; sadly shooting faraway enemies is now easier than shooting ones up close. But perhaps that is a feature.
#### Thanks for checking my game out!
