Reverse Space Invaders by kernel panic
A simple Space Invaders game where you play as the aliens. Feel like a supreme alien fleet commander!
Playing the game:
Keep moving from side to side to drop down.
You have a large freedom to move in your own time.
Shoot down at a laser tank to make things easier.
The defender's score is shown at the top - try to make it go DOWN. :P
Beware, the defenders can play co-op against you!
Control summary:
Left or A - Move left
Right or D - Move right
Down or S - Move in required direction to drop
Mouse - Shoot from invader closest to pointer
There's more I would have liked to achieve in the time, but I guess improvements will have to wait. (Sound, motherships, shields)
Also, it's my first browser game. The code is ugly - no time for neatness :P
UPDATE: An updated POST Ludum Dare Compo version is linked below. (Sounds)

Interesting concept. Too bad it only gets fun towards the end, but I guess it's the nature of the idea. Lack of sound effects really breaks the mood.

Reminds me of mine! Really good job on the ship AI. It made the game a lot more challenging having a tough opponent!

The concept is awesome but imho, it's ... so hard to be fun. But nice performance and good job on spaceship 's AI !
