Invasion of the Planet Snatchers! by icefox
INVASION OF THE PLANET SNATCHERS!
A silly game based on a REALLY silly take on the theme, so hopefully it makes up in charm what it might lack in technical polish. Oh, and there's no actual win condition... Just have fun rampaging around!
Start main.exe or run main.py if you have python and pygame installed. Instructions are on the title screen.
This is my first submission to the Ludum Dare and there are bunches of things I would wish to do better in this game. There are a few bugs with geometry, the draw order is inconsistent, and I only got to implement about half of what I wanted.
But still, it works! Great success! :-)
Technical notes:
* Tested on Python 2.7 and Pygame 1.9, on Linux and Windows XP and 7
* It does all the drawing and junk in software, so it actually needs a fairly powerful CPU to run at full speed. I didn't really try to optimize it. Works fine on my Phenom II, didn't run so fine on my Atom netbook...

Additionally, I made a screencast of me programming this game, which is worth watching if only for the sweet music I dug up:
