Fortunately, we're not too bothered about that so we're submitting it anyway :).\r\n\r\nWe wanted to make a game with simple mechanics combined with intentionally buggy and quirky behaviour that a skilled player can use to get a better score. This is the result. We also made it in the style of a C64 game and added some more bugs and quirky behaviour for laughs.\r\n\r\nThe basic mechanics are Space Invaders so remember, instead of shooting where the enemies ARE, shoot where they're GOING TO BE :).\r\n\r\nIf, by some stroke of genius or good fortune, you kill all the enemies in a formation, then a well-known computer-game personality will award you a special bonus.\r\n\r\nControls: Arrow keys to move, X to fire.<\/p>","title":"You Are Now In Space"}
