Very cool! Like the atmosphere here, though I felt a little bit at a disadvantage with the amount of enemies against me. Awesome work!

Nice overall style, but a little too hard maybe :) I could only last 4 waves. I am bad square :(

Good use of audio to alert to the presence of the nasty monster!

Sounded nice, and a nice twist on space invaders. Didn't really use the theme very much though. It did seem to be a bit short, maybe spawning the enemies slower would have been nice. The controls were odd too, would have liked space to fire, if I was using the keyboard.

Crashes my Chrome browser every time. Plays fine in Firefox though.

Fun game, very intuitive to play, and with a smooth ramp up in difficulty as you go.

Nice sounds and atmosphere, nice mechanic, gets a little overwhelming fast :)

Awesome work, a space invaders remixed. Good use of audio & cool graphics. Congratz !

the game was fun and the way you had to defend the full sphere was pretty neat. the graphics looked and felt nice, and same with the audio.

Nice variation on Space Invaders/Missile Command that I really enjoyed... until they blew up my base! :~)
It's a bit of a disadvantage that you can't see all enemies at once, I often didn't know which way to go to kill the nasty bleeping enemies before they fired. Also nice music and sfx.

Top score: 650ish, wave no. 5

Very good game. Nice Space Invader remake and twist. Gratz !

Nice gameplay

Something really pleasing about seeing those squares pop.

So simple, so great. Absolutely love this game. I think the link to the theme is a bit weak, but the game itself is awesome.

Aww this is a sweet entry! :-)
I like games on "round planets"! :) It was quite challenging though! :D

I didn't really understand what's the purpose of the colour, though! XD

Good gameplay! But this concept was developped in the last LD

iansnyder 2013-12-19 00:34

Really like the idea of this, not sure why but there's always something about moving around in a circle or on a sphere that's interesting. I'd love to see this polished up into something bigger! Very fun, lots of possibilities going forward with it :)

javifugitivo 2013-12-19 00:37

Very cool! Awesome work! Nice innovation to space invaders!

gokuhd 2013-12-19 00:46

Great audio, great game, good job.

Ability to jump was surprised me! Great game. My score is 525. Hope, it's not bad )

olafsworld98 2013-12-22 01:18

i did not really see the big idea because all it is not a if you could have prevented them from attacking, but like the graphics

archaeometrician 2013-12-22 01:39

Nice game ! The concept is innovative I love it ! Really challenging !

ultravisitor 2013-12-22 20:29

This is fantastic but a little weak on the theme. The only thing I would change is your fonts. It looks like you are using bold times roman or something. I think you should go here for inspiration: http://www.thealmightyguru.com/GameFonts/Series-Retro.html

murilo 2013-12-23 19:19

The art and sound is pretty cool. It felt kind of slow. But overall it's pretty good idea for a quick game!

diptoman 2013-12-25 10:20

Great little game, but a bit hard to progress beyond wave 5. I think I liked green the best. Cool soundtrack.

ViliX 2013-12-28 14:46

Awesome moody game!

csanyk 2013-12-30 06:16

If this is a compo entry, where's the source?

csanyk 2013-12-30 06:22

Theme is represented only superficially -- it would have been cool if the color you picked affected the way the game played somehow. Core gameplay is pretty good -- if you took this further I'd suggest adding additional enemy types, some type of weapons power ups or defensive power ups. Pretty decent game!

Nice gameplay and visuals, I enjoyed this game, my best score is 580!
