like in the original game, the last city is well defended..

nice game, lowscores only work after first play, and i expected ESC to take my out of the level finished screen

lanoiadimuu 2012-12-17 15:58

D'oh, I completely goofed on it. There's a back button, but I coded it wrong: To get out level finished screen you have to press P.

Once you get the hang of it, it's quite fun - hard is hard.

Wow that player AI is really good. His only downfall is trying to defend cities that were already burned down. "Lowscores" is a pretty amusing idea as well.

@sclark39:
That's what made the easy AI easy. The hard one does not care about burned cities, making her harder to fool.

Very challenging and fun!

A little bit to random for my taste... It feels like simply pressing the numbers on your keyboard in random order and moving your mouse randomly will make you win the game. Or that is just me...

Interesting, didn't manage to destroy the last city though

CireNeikual 2012-12-18 16:45

Last city on hard is very difficult to destroy! Fun game though!

Awesome man, My first instinct in this compo was to redo a classic game as the enemy as well. Yours turned out much better though. Its pretty sweet!

Sooo, when on easy I could just mash 1 to 6 and sometimes q to win easily and on hard no matter what I do everything gets shot down immediately. Hm. Nice idea, proper visuals and sound for the setting. Would like to know if someone can play it on hard and win though.

Fun game! I played it a lot =)

Nice idea, but it seems there's little strategy to it, as spamming everything seemed to work best for me. Good implementation nontheless :)

Good idea (I've had the same though ;) but I decided to do something else instead), and very well done! The AI is too perfect in my opinion (maybe it should have a certain probability of failing any shot). Right now I don't see any strategy or technique apart from mashing the 1-6 keys and moving the mouse randomly :)

This is great. Always wanted to play this in reverse. Thanks!

infernet89 2012-12-30 20:49

Oh, i LOVE when someone invert the mechanic of a classic! And this is a very good execution, nice work!

Really cool concept. I think the game needs to be more balanced.
