Invaded Space by jessifin
Move with WASD, fire with spacebar, toggle music with M. You are the sole traveler on a journey through interstellar space... What will you encounter on your way?
Made in WebGL (Javascript, HTML and a tiny amount of CSS). I used the "webgl-utils.js" file created by Google to set up the WebGL context (file is included with source code).

I thought being able to see all of the "alternate universes" was very cool. The first time that the camera pulled back and I saw them side by side it was very neat.
The core of the game beyond that was somewhat threadbare and left a bit to be desired. If there was a bit more to do, I could see this game being very, very cool
I have a strong beef with the controls. Maybe it's just muscle memory at this point, but I see a little cursor like that and I expect L/R rotate.
Once things get going, it's pretty confusing. Why do my projectiles keep blowing up, why does everything loop, etc. I love the idea, but it probably needs to be signaled better to the player.
Somehow despite that I still had a lot of fun. I'd highly encourage adding a bit more to the description to users don't need to spend as much time trying to figure out the game.
Otherwise, what the heck is happening? I have no idea. Everything duplicates. Trippy! :D
Like the humor at the beginning. :)
Pros
- Overall Good style
- Nice approach to jam theme
Cons:
- Non intuitive controls
- lack of objective indicators.
- Confusing damage feedback
(Take a look at my game too, I believe you'll like it: goo.gl/8p2MVY)
:confused: The controls however, stopped me from being able to enjoy the game to the fullest and for that reason I got bored.
:idea: If you were to include a general objective on the top it would improve this game remarkably.
:fist: Well done with what you during the competition! Nice one...
