Nice sound effects :P

The audio was oddly hilarious. Cool idea!

Very fun sound! Great use of free assets to make your game. I played for a while trying to keep things clean, and then just sat back and enjoyed watching the rovers pile up and shake from their RigidBody collisions. The rockets from the sky felt good, but the rovers just popped in, maybe they could move in from the side of the screen, or drive in over the horizon?

Another game that features the planet Mars, yay! I found the audio hilarious for some reason! Good job.

Lol that sounds! Good work man!

Hooray for Mars! Git out Earthlings!

Nice use of both the NASA photos and... whatever those sound effects were from. Hilarious!

If you want to make your audio sound effects even sillier you can set the audioSource.pitch to a random value eveytime you play it, and you'll get some high/low pitch variation! :smile:

@mgoadric Very good point with the movement and pop-in. You can recognize our lack of experience here, but we are getting better (and do more complex stuff) with each project.

@all The sound effects are the beautiful voice work of @akeean :smiley:

Nice sound effects! Funny game:)

Haha, well done guys. I was torn between rating highly on sound or on humour. Went for the latter as my ears are hurting.. :D I assume I lost when the counte reached 0? Good effort, keep it up, your games will only get more awesome over time!

@very-dark-lord You loose at -50. The Martians are very persistent. ;)

Well done, glad to see you guys made something cool, out of curiosity(rover) I also tried losing the game, I love that you had the losing condition as well, plus the debris was a nice touch!

Why do I keep hearing Danny DeVito saying "Yeah!" whenever I destroy a debris?

divinenephron 2018-08-16 21:21

Good sound effects and funny premise. I guess to improve it you could add more bonkers via particle effects or a wider variety of sound effects?

Best game of LD42! 5/5

I had a great time blasting earthling scum, but after about 10 seconds I felt that the game needed something more. Cool idea, though - and congratulations on finishing your second entry ever! =)

Oh nice entry akeean, the best feature in the game is doing rapid firing to create beatboxing song with your sfx haha. Filing mars with rovers and rockets to fill the space was an interesting idea and the graphics look nice with the explosions. Simple but enjoyable small game well done!

firellon 2018-08-28 20:02

Cool sounds and fun mechanics! Do you have a version for defense of Pluto? Would be fun too!

A funny game with great use of assets.
