Space Cripes 2 by jbasinger

[raw]
made by jbasinger for LD32 (COMPO)
"I swear I will turn this planet around!"

Use Left and Right arrows to crank the planet and make the incoming meteors smash the aliens trying to invade your planet.

The power ups have to hit a shield or the planet to be collected.
If they hit an alien, they will harm the alien, but you won't collect them.
This can be useful if you have a single alien left or collecting a health power up would be pointless =)

I can't personally get past level 8. Stuff gets crazy at about that point. Try and beat my score!

The Android version is probably the most fun though:

Haha this is fun! It's challenging to retrain yourself to think this way -- to have only one axis of control, and it's roll. Nice work.

Fantastic and clever game! Though I got to Level 2 and after I killed all the aliens, it never progressed :( still, great entry!

@sharpcoder Was it the web version, or another version? Try one of the downloadable ones. If you have an Android, that version if probably the most fun/arcade-ish =)

I really like the mechanics and the fact that the aliens move around so it's not as easy to aim them correctly. Really adds another facet to the gameplay. Awesome job! (:

Kinda slow and simple, but it looked really nice. Cool job!

Very nice feeling, and intuitive with the 2 button controls! Plays very slowly though, having to wait has the control feel very indirect.

Not much of a wapon but the graphics,powerups and the gameplay are cool,sometimes asteroids just come to fast to avoid i lost a lot of healts because of that.

@ddalacu It's a bit meta, but the meteors are the weapons =)

hahaha nice game! at first, i thought i was supposed to 'protect' the aliens, and it didn't turn out well. :) loved exploding alien parts!

Fun game! I would recommend adding the ability to use the keyboard arrow keys as well.

Nice idea. I like how everything breaks into pieces when it's hit. Fun.

Nice concept, might be better if the view area was bigger so you can see asteroids coming for longer.

Fun and challenging, went to level 4 then level 6. I think the planet doesn't turn fast enough as sometime, when there are only one alien left, RNG can make you lose or win and there's nothing you can do about it.

I'll be honest - I thought I was supposed to protect those aliens first. xD I should have read the description.

Very nice entry, although it would have been nice with some background music, and a bit more polish.
