starfall by datachomper

[raw]
made by datachomper for LD31 (JAM)
Defend planet earth from intergalactic squares of doom! The awkward interface artistically represents panic at the end of the world. The incorrect audio levels represent the chaos of survival for life. or something.

Objective: Click to destroy the asteroids before they reach earth. After 3 asteroids hit the earth, game is over. Play for high score.

Written in C with SDL2. Images and audio are both public domain.

Update:
* Reorganized the download so it's easier to start the game.
* Prevent a console window from opening during gameplay
* No code changes.

you should enable humor, cause I was totally about to give it 5 stars for humor. your music and description make it hilarious. All in all pretty simple and awesome. Difficult for sure. I would have liked to see a little more for the art of the click-able squares than just a white square, maybe a little animation or something, but they definitely didn't look bad. Good job!

Nice idea, you should try porting it to touchscreen mobile phones :)

Well, you are supposed to opt-out of judging for graphics and audio if you didn't create them yourself during the jam's 3 days. So I didn't rate that. The graphics and sound is cool though.
I think you have some issues with graphics consistency. You have a highly detailed earth but white squares for enemies? Also, the enemies seemed to mix lots of my clicks.

"...panic at the end of the world" and then you die. Hmm, I hope we don't get any of them there asteroids.

If the star can have a nicer image..I think it can be interesting if it comes to the mobile platform with more polish.
