Not Space Invaders – Post Mortem

It only took me half an hour to come up with the idea for my game – “Not Space Invaders”. Basically, it’s the good old space invaders but you play on the aliens side. Use the arrow keys to select an alien and shoot to the humans defending on the bottom of the screen.

The theme was “You Are The Villain” and I immediately thought of making the opposite of a game where you are the hero, and Space Invaders just seemed like the most achievable one. So achievable it is, that I finished the entry very quickly. Thus, I used most of the second day for polishing (title screen, little tutorial, music, etc).

I used Lua and LÖVE. I planned on using HTML5 with my own framework, but then I just decided LÖVE was easier.

I think it’s nice we had the same idea, just went in totally different directions :). Thanks for rating my game. It’s not in the docs, but press “M” to mute sound. Will update the menu after voting is over.
