Shady Business by cnoel

[raw]
made by cnoel for LD32 (JAM)
Ever have someone throw shade at you? Well not today, because you've got heavily reflective sunglasses and you can bounce that shade right back. (Go with me here this all makes total sense.)

Watch pop-culture language come to life as you defend yourself and your fellow bullied kids (who all happened to ingest invisibility juice) in the cafeteria from those who are willing to insult you!
Move the shades with your mouse and really enact that whole "I'm rubber, you're glue" shpeal.


Originally for the 48 hour challenge, but I wasn't prepared for what doing a
Ludum Dare was actually like. Lots of assets and functionality for just a base game are missing but it was fun seeing what I could do in a weekend worth of time.

Nice and simple mechanics, feels like a crossover between space invaders and brick breaker. Would be a lot more challenging if you could actually lose :p

Ah, a breakout/space invaders hyrbrid, nice! And yep, the biggest mistake is to underestimate how long it takes to make a game. Hope you had fun!

Simple, but fairly fun. I like how the difficulty quickly increases and I love the name :D. Some sound would have been a nice addition.

I feel like it is an interesting take on the classic, "Breakout". It would have been interesting to see more enemy and ball types.
