Cat's Heaven by Lyxilion
/!\ Aparently, if you have Chrome 42, you will not be able to play ! /!\
This was my 2nd Ludumdare !
Like the last time, it was a lot of fun and i'll be there for the LD#33 !
I had some troubles with the theme, then with the code and finaly with the art ^^'.
It's has been hard to code this week end. But I'm still proud of myself.
Let's talk about the game :
You are the green spaceship, and you are attacked by 15 waves of aliens ! A new wave come every 20 seconds. But you are not ready, the ship's computer is crazy, so the carateristics of your weapon will change !
You have 3 weapon's carateristics, the speed of the bullet, the fire rate, and the type of shoot. There are 3 types of shoots, a normal shoot, a triple shoot and an useless shoot, which shoot in a random direction ! You have 27 diferents combinations.
Morehover, every 5 waves, you will have to fight a boss !
Oh ? And did I say that your vessel is shooting kitty faces ? :p I named it "Cat's Heaven", I don't even know why, but as I shoot cat's faces, I named it like this.
By the way I don't even know why you are shooting kitty faces ^^'.
You like my game ? check out my website => http://openmy-dev.net/ the new version is uner developpemnt but soon, the next version of the game (with better art) will be there. (the site is in french, but for the game it will be in english too).
The controls :
Move : Arrows Keys
Shoot : Right Click
Made with :
Code : Notepad++
Art : MS Paint / Photofiltre
Frameworks : Phaser
Language : JavaScript
Feel free to leave comments and to give your point of view, Thanks a lot!

It's a nice little game. I think the graphics could use differentiation in the terms of what's on the background and what's in the foreground (what you need to worry about). Maybe make the background items smaller and/or darker.
The game was too big for my screen though, I had to scroll to see what my weapon was, not easy to play like this :p
It's a bit hard to follow the action because of the stars in the background.
* reduce the canvas size or make it fullscreen, i could barely see the whole thing on my 27" screen
* use different art for objects and background, it was a bit difficult to distinguish, but maybe you wanted to make it harder?
But good job, playable and fun, add a few more waves and you are golden
Be careful, sometimes the shoot is a little glitchy, it fires where i'm not aiming.
Anyway, I don't know why you say it doesn't work on Chrome 42 – you used Phaser, which uses HTML5/JavaScript technology, thus it doesn't require any additional plugins those are deprecated. You actually did exactly what the Ludum Dare announcement suggests about avoiding deprecated technologies.
@megabrutal yeah I know but two of my friends couldn't play it on chrome...
