This is great. I think the idea is pretty funny. 10 seconds after starting the game though, I wish I had choices. Suppose every so often a choice window pops up.. if you are looking at the screen, you can make a choice.. if not.. well it keeps on chugging along. You should port this to a screen saver.
I know what your program is really doing... stop hunting for my passwords ;)
Kind of the point is that with such small balls you couldn't blow up hail. I thought of adding that after a few mentions though. Perhaps if I make a second game like this I'll make it a little more "classic" where things break or blow up. :) The alien ship is worth 5000 points and if you don't blow it up it sucks up all your people :>
Thank you Schubacca :) I suppose I really should have tried to define the goal more clearly. I think it's mostly akin to the old atari games. (missile command being one of its influences) The only real goal is a high score. You can get a good score if you focus just on the hail. Each hit on a falling ball of ice gets you a bonus multiplier. You can get a pretty high multiplier if you try hard. I've gotten up to 50 I think. 50 x 50 = 2500 for the next hail hit. Which outweighs the 1000 you get for each person saved. Perhaps I tried for too simple of a game :)
It ends when the bridge is destroyed. Maybe I should tweak it for a quicker game. The bridge's health is knocked down by the hail. It was actually much longer before ;)
I am not an artist. The alien was the first one I did and nothing came to me for a better graphic. Might fix it in the future.
Hi, madren! You can pay for faster progress, but you can play without money. In this case, you going on slowly.
