Space Scrapper by Josh6680

[raw]
made by Josh6680 for LD 44 (JAM)

Destroy the approaching space invaders, and upgrade your ship between waves, by trading your undamaged hull parts (HP) for upgrades. Remember though, you need the hull parts to take damage, but you also need the upgrades to survive the increasingly difficult invaders. How long can you hold out?

I really like score-attack games, and this is no exception :smile:
My strategy was to go for attack rate, this is the highest score I managed to get:

Nice twist on alien invader, works with the theme and has a decent difficulty curve to it. Good job!

Nice implemention of the theme! Although the game start all of a suddden, which catches me off guard, I really have fun. It is quite thrilling when there is only one enemy left and it speeds up to attack. Kinda expect more diffrent enemies and attack patterns, though.

Good game! I like the idea. Also my friend and i were thinking about a sim game about ludum dare and one of the games, that you could play there was space invaders. And then we found your game and it was a bit funny. Thank you for this game!

So it's nice implementation of a classic game. I have not found any bugs or problems. Just I am not fan of arcanoid games and I have not found any intresting innovations. So, sorry just average scores.
