Screen Protector is a simple, high score game where you play as a red dot who shoots black squares. What's your motivation? That's for you to decide. I knew I wouldn't be able to create anything visually stunning or uniquely intuitive but hopefully anyone playing Screen Protector will find it somewhat fun.
How To Play:
Shooting enemies will fill your level meter. Once the level meter is filled, the level will be increased. Enemies spawn more often and move faster each time you level up but are also worth more score. There is a max of 10 levels.
The Level meter goes down over time and if it reaches 0, you will revert back to the previous level. Leveling up will also make each box you kill add less to the level meter.
Each time you get hit by a enemies you will enter a short invulnerable state where you can't take damage. Get hit 3 times and it's Game Over.
Killing enemies will also fill your power meter. Once full, you can activate full power to mow down the evil boxes.
Controls:
W-up
A-left
S-down
D-right
Arrow Keys-Shoot
Space-Activate Power
Esc-Exit Game

Music was simple and catchy, and the voice work was nice too.
All in all though, a nice little shooter game.
-Fun and hard :)
-Control scheme is a little awkward to grasp :(
-Very minimalist game mechanics, but it works :|
-Keep it up!
also the fact that you use File>new reminded me of the good old days of PC games.
the game itself is fun, I think it get fast really fast, there are some stuff that you can make it even more interesting (as all LD games)
over all good job, I enjoyed it
(I loved the sounds)
The game looked simple at a first glance but after playing for a while it was obvious that you put a lot of work into it. Everything from the particle effects to the smooth movement of the player made the game feel polished and fun to play.
Great SFX!
The level up and leveldown jingle are fun but they repeat when your bar is full then go down again... Maybe forbid a leveldown 5 seconds after a levelup would solve this.
