Spheres VS Cubes by Markusn

[raw]
made by Markusn for LD26 (JAM)
You are witness of an epic battle between Red Spheres and Green Cubes. Explore what is going on. Help your green friends to fight back Red's relentless attacks. Can you tip the scales to Green's victory?

Is: prototype. focus on creating a waging war atmosphere, player has limited yet critical influence

Is not: balanced. you can't win this thing right now, only prevent Red from winning

Will be: Definitely a future game. I love the "you are a small but important piece in the grand scheme of things" scenario :)

Use arrow keys to move. Space to shoot.

Goal is to fight the red spheres. Green will shoot Red, but then paralyze. Red will smash paralyzed Greens and duplicate.
Spawn Towers can take 50 hits. If Red hits you, you will respawn at start.

Lot's of improvement needed (especially mouse controls!), but I had lot's of family duties so have mercy :)

Very fun game!! Red won though :/ I really liked how simple the whole game is, just move around and eliminate those red suckers. Nicely done!

Something in there trying to get out. Not enough of an overview somehow... didn't feel like I could be tactical, but couldn't get strategic p.o.v. may just be me.
