Simply nice graphics design.
Adding additional gameplay element would have helped a lot for sustaining interest, though.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD18 → Alien Super Mega Blaster

Thanks for playing Pokute. Certainly could do with more game play elements, but had very limited time. Kept a backlog of things to develop and was strick in starting the next addition until I had finished what I was working on.
Love the graphic style! The shrapnel is really well done. Strays a LITTLE bit from the theme, but maybe more of that should have happened during this compo.
A little more randomness would have helped - or at least some kind of fighting back of the aliens. As it is, the aliens are very passive and do not pose a threat once the concept is understood.
Good job considering time constraints.
Unfortunately I couldnt run this, although I did get the idea from the video. I gave 2 for innovation due to the schrapanel mechanic. An interesting if indirect take on the theme.
I love the graphics; I might consider a similar style next LD :P 3 stars for that.
Nice graphical style and the game was fun to play. It was cool that with a well placed shot onto one of the flying saucers at the top you could take a massive chunk out of the enemy ranks. :D
Thanks for the feedback guys. Really appreciated.
This game gets really interesting around wave 4 or so. That is when some fun strategies are left for the player to figure out that make this different than most "hold trigger" strategies. It is cool that you then have to be aware of dodging what you destroy and I like that a lot. Watching the bits spiral down is fun and I liked the sound effects too. Great job on a solid entry. I will say that I find your connection to the theme a bit tentative in my opinion but I guess I do see how you interpreted it.
Cool take on the classic game. It took a few levels to even see how you used the theme though. That's ok though, probably better as a whole this way.
Couldn't play the game.
