Drone Invasion by Niki90000

[raw]
made by Niki90000 for LD 40 (JAM)

This is our first game for the Ludum Dare. Fly through the space with a spaceship and try to get as far as possible. But beware ! You are not alone there. There are comets everywhere and dangerous alien drones. They will try to destroy your ship ! But they don't like the comets too.

We hope you enjoy our game and we are sorry for there is no sound. We were running out of time. (But remember there is no sound in space ;D) Thank you very much for every rating and comment Drone Invasion Cover.png

Changelog: - 1.0.1: Fixed Wrong Credits - 1.0.2: Fixed Score Bug

I like the concept; some parts seemed a bit rushed. The score doesn't seem to update ingame either. With some polish and a bit more work I can see it being a fun single button phone game for sure

Did not really understand a clear way how to kill the enemies. Also, it seems like all the time i died i got the same score of 16. Some more clarification at the description would be nice. Also, sound seems to be missing, some interesting sound effects could be added to this game to set a good mood! Anyway, good job on the entry!

At first I thought it was a bit awkward that the ship lags behind the mouse position a little, but then I realized that it actually works well because you need to hit things with the side of your ship.

Some nice design here! :)

Agreed with @tetra -- was confused when the score wasn't updating. I was pretty sure that I was getting rid of some of the aliens, but they would continue to float around. I really like the risk/reward mechanic of hitting the aliens with the meteors, but having them avoid your ship. Nicely done! Wish there was some music/sfx to go along with the game, too.

Nice game! Very interesting concept and execution. Art was pretty great however some sound would have been nice. Great work!

The game concept was good. Some audio could have been nice, though.

Neat idea. It was a bit of a bummer that there was no way to shake them off after they attached, would have been a neat feature to add. Also the score was not updating throughout gameplay, you only saw your score at the very end. I did like how the ship followed the mouse with a little lag, it made it feel more fluid like you were in space.

@adrenallen you can throw off the aliens by intersecting with comets. Just don't collide frontally with them :)
Also the bug with the score should now be fixed!

An ok game! Took a while to figure out how to get rid of the aliens. The ship controls was good!

That was a pretty cool game! Really interesting mechanic, scraping enemies off your ship by slamming them into oncoming meteorites. Very clever! Instructions were a taaad cryptic, but I figured it out pretty fast, thankfully. The game itself is pretty fun, so kudos to you!

Pushing the asteroids away is a very interesting mechanic, well done!

A very pretty space game. The gameplay is okay, but I would have liked a bit more to do, and the game really needs some music or/and some sound effects.
