Defend the solar system from an alien invasion on this modern twist on space invaders.
With two game modes four levels and a bunch of aliens to destroy, there's plenty of fun in this messy space shoot-em-up.
An entry for js13kgames. I've wanted to do something with polar coordinates since working on the ABC 2013-14 ashes catches game, so here's a little radial shooter for a bit of fun.

The game has been tested and made to work on the major browsers.
Browser | Support | Mobile |
---|---|---|
Chrome | A | Yes |
Firefox | A | Yes |
Safari | B | Yes |
Android Browser 4 | B | Yes |
Internet Explorer | F | No |
There have been reports IE just displays a blank screen, but I haven't got a Windows machine or the time to debug it. The game should (eventually) work on IE 9 .
Safari on iOS is kinda slow. It's playable but visibly choppy. I'm not sure if it's slower hardware, browser or both.
The #js13k build is in a separate "js13k" branch, and includes some last-minute optimisations to bring it under the required filesize. The branch is provided as a reference only and is out of sync with master.
