“Aliens. It’s always aliens. Can’t get myself a coffee without someone mentioning those annoying tiny creatures with claws and sharp teeth. Since the discovery of those damn ruins on Venus few years ago, every single day I am called to clean up unwanted visitors here or there. Those grimoire guys never tell us anything, so we can only guess, what the hell is happening. Anyway, duty calls, end of diary entry, Captain Jones out.”


What to expect:

  • Endless wave-based shoot’em up made for Ludum Dare #56 in three days
  • Slow start (unless you pick the Hardcore mode)
  • Swarms of (you guessed it) tiny aliens and lots of bullets
  • 7 different tasks for making gameplay more lively and probably hellish after 10th wave (especially on Hardcore)
  • Did I mention Hardcore mode?


Controls:

  • W/A/S/D or Arrows to move (game uses tank controls)
  • Hold Space to shoot
  • Hold Shift to speed up


Game is web-based this time, hope it will work fine.


Also fair warning: Escape in-game is not a pause!!!


And another fair warning: game’s camera might induce motion sickness. You can either avoid the game or try the options in the game menu to try to reduce it. If you feel unwell when playing it, then please, don’t torture yourself and close the game. I appreciate you even giving it a try. :)

Weird to adjust to at first but simple and good. An escort mission went off the map on wave 24, it was almost done :(

Ugh, sorry, I thought I fixed spawn borders. -_-
Thanks for playing! :D

A pretty interesting top-down shooter. Whilst the camera did throw me off a bit, the real pain point for me were the shoot and speed up controls being so far apart. It also seems like I can't turn right and move backwards simultaneously - that seems like a bug.

Thank you for playing the jam entry! :D Yeah, I didn't have enough time to make customisable controls, so they ended up being all over the place. :\
