Heat-Ray by Givit Game Studios

[raw]
made by Givit Game Studios for LD36 (JAM)
A VERY LONG FREAKING TIME AGO. MEN USED SUN RAYS TO BURN THE SAILS OF SHIPS ON THEIR SHORES NEARBY THEIR ISLANDS, (ACCORDING TO A VERY UN-SOURCE FULL SOURCE). THEY WOULD USE A TYPE OF MIRROR TO CREATE A TYPE OF LAZER TO BURN THE SAILS.

Funny game! I realized you can hold down space bar and move around for unlimited lasers! XD

One thing though is that a ship spawned at the very top row at around level 8 or 9, and it was unreachable, so I lost the game then. You might need to look into that.

Not a bad game for being made in a few hours!

Nice game, made to Level 12! Here are some you can do to improve :)

Unlimited sun rays makes the game too easy you can just smash the up and down key while holding space.
Also you can try and add music/sound effect (if you want)

Simple and Great. :)
I like the idea with the sunray leaving "trails" after you moving to another lane.

It is fun to play, love the music. The difficulty seems to spike towards the end of the 20's and then after about level 30 ships seemed to stop spawning. Did the enemy just realise that we have a huge heat-ray? haha
Good job :)

Simple but well made. I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/66O503w0cEI
