the old and good space invader... nice gameplay. some non blender primitive graphics would have been a good add on.

Couldn't get the game to open on Windows. When launching the .exe two empty windows opened and immediately closed.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes I like the standard model, but GFX is not only mesh ;-). I'm starting to find my visual style/touch for compo (this one and future).

I found bugs on Windows (I developped the compo on Linux/Mac).
I'm uploading a fix compo version.

Solid entry, missing audio but a good game. I found it frustrating that I could hold to shoot, but hold to move was temporary. Nice idea tho and well executed.
