Core Invaders by CogComp
Core Invaders
Story
Inspired but not deterred by their fellow space invaders,
the core invaders have decided it's time to attack earth.
Armed with a weapon that disables all navigation abilities
the earth defenses don't stand a chance.
You alone have survived the onslaught using only timed boosts
of your ships thrusters and your trusty pulse laser.
Instructions
Boost your ships engines by pressing 'W' and shoot with SPACE.
Avoid or destroy ships to reach the aliens core to complete
the level.
---------------------------------------------
The game is written in C++ using Visual Studio 2015 Community edition and my open sourced mini-game-engine that I created during Ludum Dare 33.
https://github.com/AlexMartinelle/PicoEngine
The "art" was made using Gimp, Milkshape 3D, Blender and Wings3D
The music and sound effects were made using bfxr, Audacity and LMMS.
If you experience performance issues, it seems that these are caused by my dodgy sound effects routines :-) So you can toggle sound effects with 'S'.

Good to see another wings/milkshape user.
Good work!
Performance was a little choppy, even with the sound effects off, and the music was pretty loud compared to the rest of the sound - but good fun was had, overall.
I feel like the two buttons should be forward and backward thrust and shooting should be automatic. Then the player has to navigate through the complex web of enemies to get to the core. Just a thought.
You got a fun concept, with cools graphics and really old school music, good job :D
All in all, nice take on the theme and nice game. Well done :)
thanks for youtube platform
