Here’s a screenshot of my game so far:<\/p>\n

My initial idea was to take the tower defense concept and flip it on its head, so that instead of annihilating a swarm of enemies, the player IS the enemy. The player would be a sort-of cruiser ship moving on rails (i.e. a pre-defined movement path), and would be able to send out smaller fighter ships, pop a shield and boost movement etc.. Basically trying to annihilate everything on the islands, while also staying alive.<\/p>\n

However, I derailed quite a bit yesterday and I’m pretty sure that there’s no way I can make all the gameplay that I had imagined in the current time frame. I’ll definitely have something playable by the end of today though \":)\"<\/p>\n \n
