Alien Game Prototype
Alien Game Prototype
For one of the Ludum Dare mini competitions a few months back I started hacking together a simple arcade style game. The human race is being attacked an eaten by a vicious alien species. You play the role of a benevolent alien who comes to the rescue of the helpless humans.
Originally the only defence the hero had against the invading aliens was going to be a tractor beam — where you must grab and throw the aliens to get rid of them. After showing it to the Pipe Cleaner Man he insisted that I added lasers and homing missiles, so I did.
I’m not certain what I’m going to do with this project. As it began as a quick hack for a 48 hour competition, it is not very well designed. It would need a considerable amount of rewriting before being able to transform it into a real game.
For the time being I think I’ll hold off before posting the actual game for download. I would like to add at least a simple scoreboard and actually being able to win or lose before sharing it.
