Nice work!

is there a point where the 2 godlike aliens attack earth themsleves?

Arcade fun :)
Really good intro, sets the mood perfectly!
GJ!

The mood is perfect thanks to the intro and the well suited music theme.
The gameplay is efficient, Though I didn't went really far (100pts max on 3 games).
The little red ones are quite nasty.
Congrats for your first unity game.

Absolutely brilliant! This is one of those rare games on LD that just feels and plays right, control-wise. Also I learnt something new on the first go after being eaten by the yellow creature, love games that do that! Best one I've played and rated as of yet.

chris-mondok 2013-12-16 15:41

Nicely done.
It's irritating when three of those yellow guys show up.

Linux users probably expect .tar.gz, but we're used to dealing with .rars and .zips also.

I had fun playing this! I really liked it! Neat little arcade game. I got 101 points before I panicked and started to spin around. I really liked the animations.

Great game, there are great things to do with your idea of a "centered shooter". Best game i saw.

ihateatmfees 2013-12-16 18:43

Nice job, it's fun and you nailed the mood!

sylence 2013-12-16 18:44

Really fun to play and the mood is excellent

kratorspore 2013-12-16 18:45

Really nice ideas here coupled with great execution. Really nice wave design and some cool mechanics. I love the enemies that disable your shields.

zorfmorf 2013-12-16 19:08

Great game and execution! Really hard on a slow system though as the rocket shields get slowed down a lot more than the enemies by lag

Great intro and mood.
One typo, in the intro there was "concider" instead of "consider"

dynad 2013-12-16 19:32

Fun to play, nice music, cool looking animations ;)

mrjordan 2013-12-16 20:55

Oh my, that was perfect. Love the intro, the premise, and the gameplay. 93 points, yo!

teddy 2013-12-16 23:21

This games music/sound was so kick ass it deserves 6/5 stars. The game play was fun, the story made sense. def a good submission. Thanks for this!

zebi24 2013-12-16 23:49

Yep, this is pretty nice. I expected nothing less from the creator of awesome Lakeview Cabin. :) You rock dude!

berzee 2013-12-17 04:23

Man, aliens are jerks, eh? HERE'S A TIP, ALIENS: if your spaceships are all in the shapes of EVIL SKULLS, you are PROBABLY the BAD GUYS.

I got 87. =) Nicely created! I found it all a bit noisy and stressful, but I think that was the intent and it achieves it quite effectively.

The enemy attack patterns being randomized but somewhat pre-designed was a nice touch, too. (The spiral one is my favorite as it is easy to handle but also makes me feel heroic =P).

chamberlainpi 2013-12-17 15:29

Cool idea! Plays nice and fluid, the yellow guys are the worst (especially when 3 of them attack, so you have to pay close attention to which one will release off your defense paddles first!). Graphics are really nice too, the music ties well with them.

pixelbear 2013-12-17 16:55

Personally I think arcade games are the best way to go for LD, and this is one of the best ones I've played so far! Played a good number of times because it was so much fun! :)

adventureislands 2013-12-17 18:52

95 score! great sound work and graphics on this one. Very high quality! I look forward to see what you can do outside jams with skills like these!

mrtedders 2013-12-17 21:39

Very well done. Reminds me a lot of lovecraft. Mood is perfectly done. Not much can be said about it except maybe just more if you continue to work on it because it was a good time while it lasted!

soy_yuma 2013-12-17 22:48

Excellent game! I like the mood. The controls are smooth! I got the mechanics at first game play. Really good job!

roguenoodle 2013-12-18 00:43

Great use of sound to set the mood, and just an excellent entry overall. Scored an 83 - not sure if that's good or not, but it was getting pretty tricky at that point :)

teamkwakwa 2013-12-18 11:26

Simple mechanic, easy to understand. I like the graphics and the little intro.

joemanaco 2013-12-18 19:10

Nice atmosphere. Scored 93! ;)

garethiw 2013-12-19 11:36

Good game! I only managed to score 53 (third try). Those yellow dudes are tricky!

aaants 2013-12-19 13:30

Really nice visuals and smooth gameplay

Jeremias 2013-12-19 18:44

The music, the sound and these tentacles make this game really creepy. You set the mood up very well. Do you plan to make a post-compo version? If yes, you should try to continue on the graphics, e.g. making them in the same style like the satellites (they look really good!).

triplevisiongames 2013-12-19 19:00

Awesome audio and mood! Really amazing! Great fun too and really really had a great feel to it, can't express that enough!

thatguy 2013-12-21 01:42

The music really set the mood well. Nice work!

fenmar 2013-12-21 18:52

I played your game and recorded it :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amwahYfh8c8 (second part)

jacklehamster 2013-12-21 20:11

I've seen other games with similar gameplay, but the style and smooth controls makes yours much better.

lacutis 2013-12-22 01:45

Neat little game. The yellow guys neutralizing the satellites surprised me!

dekart 2013-12-22 18:23

I love the art and smoothness of the gameplay. Very solid entry.

dustystylus 2013-12-24 14:12

Fun little game! I love the music and the graphics are very cool as well.

erkberg 2013-12-25 13:20

Nice, efficient gameplay. The audio and graphics really build up the mood. Overall a really good game.

stvr 2013-12-30 03:56

Well, if it doesn't work out, we have Mars too. We'll probably fix that place up real nice. Oh! The game is good fun and clever. I actually really like how earth does not look like a place worth protecting.
