Made for Mashup Game Jam  2. The theme was Unconventional Means. I chose to make a game around this by having a space shooter where your bullets fire in a random angle, but screen wrap. Soon the game becomes a chaotic mess where you're trying to kill all the aliens while still keeping track of where you are and not getting hit! Move the ship with mouse and left click to fire. Music made in BeepBox, art in Piskel, game in GDevelop 5.


also first lol

New update is out (only web and Windows), changes some graphics, adds enemies firing, and max of 25 bullets

I appreciate you made this in really limited time, but there is literally no game element in here. You just stay still, keep down the mouse button and there's literally no way you can die. 

Probably better to implement the suggestions below, some other ideas:

  • Limit the lifetime of a bullet
  • Make the enemies enter the screen on random spots
  • As soon as you did that, make the bullets a bit less random, or make it so that you can at least predict with a certain chance where your bullet will go, otherwise I think it might be too annoying

I'm working on this!

  • Limit to 25 bullets
  • Enemies are how I like them
  • The "Unconventional Means" is the bullets being random

Also, adding in the enemies shooting back so you can't just stay in the same spot.

cool idea but theres not really much to the game then shoot maybe add a shop were you can buy power ups and make the game a bit harder maybe a round system but this game was cool good music and the game was made in 1 day oh and one more thing the aliens need more a better pathfinding  good luck if your gonna make more of it

1. I'll try to add a shop

2. The enemies are just how I like them, it's like the aliens in Space Invaders.

nice keep up great work

A good game. But it really is just too easy. Make the aliens go faster with time maybe and maybe give them more health. Maybe even spawn more of them. And infinite bullets also seem too OP. Maybe add reloading or a cooldown. But a really cool game I must say... and in such a short period of time

The aliens do go faster over time, and I'm working on a patch that changes graphics and limits onscreen bullets.

Cool idea but the game seems too easy with the ability to just keep firing bullets. I think it might be more fun if you ramp up the spawn rate of the enemies as you play, or maybe cap the number of bullets that can be active at once to like 10 so you have to dodge the aliens more often. Great job producing a game so quickly!

Thanks! Since I have so much time left, I can definitely add that!
