The Earth is in trouble. Again!!! This time from a mysterious interstellar force attacking from a distance with deadly force. It is up to you, the player, to balance the planets resources AND master the state-of-the-art defense system "BEAM-TRON 5500". It will take mad typing skills, multitasking powers and endless pots of fancy coffee.
How many years can you keep us alive?
How to play:
You are in charge of BEAM-TRON 5500, which you control by typing commands. - "DESTROY": destroys the closest incoming missile - "DESTROY BIG": destroys the closest incoming ship - "HEAL": heals the earth - "OXYGEN": resupplies some oxygen
The team: - Panagiotis Iatrou [Programming] - Thomas Finholm [Art] - Will Leamon [Audio]
Aight, the idea is pretty cool, I wish there was a bit more commands but oh well, jam :) Music is a bit repetitive, but thats really a minor thing, Artstyle is on point, suits the game really well. Overall great experience, I liked this game quite a bit, keep it up!
I enjoyed it. I think with some expansion it's definitely one I could sink some time into. More threats and more defense types etc. Also I kept pressing the up arrow to try and get my last command because my brain thought I was on an actual terminal. The interface had a nostalgic feel from the old dos titles.
I love this, you've done a lovely job with the art and audio. Not to mention the screenshake when you shoot a laser :P I enjoy the way the keyboard is used, combined with impending missiles and ships it's surprisingly effective at causing an exciting panicked experience! I'd love to see more content, this could work really well as a mobile game. As a fun jam game though it's basically perfect :)
Starts off a bit slow but as multiple big ships start coming at once it gets very hectic and fun especially if you start making typos and struggle to recover. Love the visuals and how the music ramps up.
I felt like it needs more complexity. I got to wave 10 before quitting and never felt like I had any hint of a challenge. If I typo'd a word I'd maybe take a bit of damage but I could just spam heal and thus no consequences.
If the game added another couple meters like oxygen that drained at varying rates or maybe introduced resources like ammo and a RELOAD command that could get the panic rising which leads to more fun gameplay, but as it is I found it too easy.
Nice graphics and polish, reasonably good audio, and a very neat idea that perhaps needed more content to get interesting.
