Game

A classic arcade space shoot ‘em up written in 6502 assembler for the Commodore 64. Last as long as you can against the invading hordes arriving from deep space. It can be played in the browser as well as on a real or emulated C64, including TheC64.

This was written on Monday 5th, as I was fairly busy over the weekend and hadn't come up with any decent ideas for Ludum Dare (as per). I was noodling about with some sprites on Sunday night and decided the player ship needed to be in a game. So I took a break from working on Funfair Inc. (Theme Park port) for the C64 to make this. It locks up occasionally, there wasn't time to fix that for the jam - hopefully I can track that down for a post-jam version.

Scoring

* Slow enemy = 5
* Fast enemy = 10
* Clear entire wave = 200

Controls

*UP = Up Arrow
*DOWN = Down Arrow
*Z = Fire

....or joystick in Port 2 on a real C64/emulator.

The game is really good, but the most impressive thing in my opinion is that you pulled it off in 6502 Assembly! The art is nice and the music fits the gameplay well. Love it!
