thanks megalink the reason it can't be moved by the player is yes the 2 button thing but also it is orbiting earth the weapon is the moon after basically being turned into a giant turret
The basics for a wave defence game are there, but the execution is far from inspiring.
Here are a few suggestions:
- Emphasize precision aiming over spamming. It would be quite nice if the amount of enemies was smaller and the bullets were slower meaning the player would need to lead the target a bit. This would play well with the movement of the moon, requiring small aiming adjustments based on the current position.
- Attack waves. The harder difficulty is, quite frankly, impossible because the assault never ceases. If only one group of enemies appeared at a time, even four attack directions would be manageable.
- More enemy types. Faster enemies, armored enemies, evasive enemies, partly invisible enemies, etc. Combining enemy types with different wave compositions would give you a lot of options to add variety and difficulty to the gameplay over time.
HuvaaKoodia honestly i can't believe i did not think of this. I did have to start over again on Saturday and i don't really want to change the game now
I liked that the ship moved on its own rather than being moved explicitly by a player. It made it more challenging because the player then has to focus on aiming directly at the enemies.
A few minor things:
- The bullets didn't come out in a predictable manner. Sometimes I thought that I had the enemies under control with my bullets, but then my ship stopped shooting for half a second or so, and lots of enemies surged past me and damaged the Earth.

Anyway the score didn't reset after every round. I think that the score would have been more useful if it had been reset to zero after each round.
