Game Overview
A Space Invaders style game
Notes
This is still a work in progress, but I have the basic mechanics working.
- You can move your ship, shoot aliens, and get hit by aliens.
- If you clear a wave you can keep playing
- Simple animations for the ship and aliens
- Music track and sound effects
- Score tracking
- Start and game over screen
- Added a Splash screen
- Added power ups!
- Added new Missile weapon type
- Missiles are slow at first but will lock on to enemies that get close nad do a lot of damage
- Added new enemy types
- Green enemies drop a shield restore power up
- Red enemies drop missiles
- When you get hit you lose a shield, when you run out of shields you die
- Crashing into enemies will do different damage based on the enemy type
- Added Wave splash between waves
- Added Wave counter at top of screen
- Each wave speeds up the game a little bit and increases the score multiplier
- Top Scores are now saved to a file! This was surprisingly hard to do
- Top Scores are now work on phones! If you play on the web a pop up now appears to enter your score.
