While keeping ammo stocked, you must fend them off for as long as possible.
Move your spaceship with W and S; press spacebar to shoot
Move your ammo box with A and D; press and hold spacebar to collect ammo.

Great use of the theme, controlling both sides and having the ship dependent on the resources makes for a tense and energetic game. I also really liked the music.

It took me a while to realize I need to hold the space bar to collect ammo. I also thought there was a bug in the game because there was no alien coming (did not realize you need to collect 5 ammo first).

However, it was really intense once the alien start coming and it is quite satisfying to pull off a defense. The graphics is nice, the audio is simple but fits the game quite well. GJ!

One of the funner games I've played so far. The learning curve is steep but once you get the hang of it it's really fun!

Really a fun game, and a interesting twist on a classic concept.

My only issue is that is can be frustrating to have to hold space, and tap it, when you are running low on ammo.

Had a lot of fun. Played a few rounds. Love the skill-based gameplay controlling 2 things at once. Cool interpretation of the theme. Really made me want to keep playing to beat my high score.

One of the more hole fealing games I've played. Loved the music.

Nice difficulty to this. Music is a little loud.

I did not catch the way to collect ammo until i saw a comment here. Leaving that aside i really like the game is a fun challenge.

I think this is the best game from this Ludum Dare that I have played. I loved everything from the music, mood, and sound effects, to the unique twist on an old formula. Very good job!

Great use of the theme, very fun game. The music is also very good. It runs on Linux, so I don't know why you tagged it 'Windows&Mac'.

@eemmbbeerr For some reason when we tested the game on our Linux computer, it couldn't run, so we weren't sure if we should've added that tag, but if it worked for you then that's great!
