Game Project Update 1 - Shields Up!

So I finally found some direction. Apparently a night of casino fun and social drinking wasn't the best idea but alas, 3 hours of sleep isn't stopping me! I will be doing a Jam entry this round so I can ignore having to make any of my own art.

I'm taking a lot of inspiration from one of my favorite games called "Atlantis" on the Intellivision which is a game similar to Missile Command. I've always loved this sort of game so hopefully I can do something with it. I've taken a lot of time this time to plan out what I want to do (likely way too much but I have a list of musts and nice-to-have). I have some very basics completed and have a screenshot. Note that the only working aspect at this moment is that the cannons will follow the mouse. Unlike my previous games though, I'm going to ignore mouse inputs for anything other than aiming. I think mac users and laptop users with only touch-pads will appreciate this.

With the exception of the star background and the Shield bubble, all art assets from Kenney.nl
