Description

Defend your home planet from aliens in this fun classic mashup.

I originally did this entire game over the weekend for GGJ. I took it home, did a lot of performance improvements, and other things, mostly balance related. Now I feel its ready to be played :)

*I should note, this game is not designed to be winnable. The theme was extinction, and eventually, you will die*

How to Play

*0 TO MUTE*
Edit- A lot of people seem to be complaining about firing a shot: that is not the main mechanic for attacking in this game. The main mechanic for attacking in this game is reflecting the pink bullets. The shot was only added to make things easier.

there are 3 control methods:
WASD, arrows, and mouse.
Space, W, or mouseclick to fire.
I'm sure you can figure the rest out.
Shift-click while buying to buy multiple items without returning to the screen.

Interesting combo -- needs to be better explained, especially what damages the planet. I'd like a bit more playable after round 5

If you're going to have Left Click serve as a fire button, you should not allow firing during the buy period when the only thing you can do is click to interface with the shop.

Not very well explained, i thought it was going to be more shooting, but it takes forever to load your gun, and its nearly impossible to block all the bullets 1/5

I liked this game, interesting twist on a classic game mechanic. It would be nice if the game was more frenetic, and the enemies had different movement and shot behaviors, or the paddle had different in game upgrades like arkanoid. It would be cool to instead of having a health bar, if you used bitmap data and erased a chunk out of the earth graphic. Look forward to seeing more from you!
