RAM - Rapid Advance Missile by Reccy

[raw]
made by Reccy for LD32 (JAM)
RAM is an arcade style space shooter, with a twist! You can't actually shoot - only the infinite waves of enemies hurtling towards you can! You're gonna die soon, all you can really do is crash into as many enemies as possibe before you befall your unfortunate fate.

Enemies are spawned every Astronomical Unit (AU) and act as waves. Killing certain enemies will reward you points, and killing the yellow enemy will give you an extra life and 5000 points.

Controls:
WSAD - Move
Mouse - Navigate Menus

Browsers:
For best results (and sexy bloom shader), use Chrome.
Tested on Chrome, and Firefox.
Incompatible with Internet Explorer.

Looks and plays great! A bit laggy on my end, but nothing else seems wrong!

Pretty nice, I like the fact that you actually have to crash in the enemies though is kinda hard at some point. Nice job mate :D now brb I have some unfinished business with those spaceships xD

Gets repetitive quickly, but the game plays fine and looks polished other than the fact that it could have been more fun. :)

Good job, love the graphics, but the background should move slower, it hurts my eyes after some time :D.

Nice concept and well executed. Can be kinda cheated by staying at one side of the screen. Great graphics and mood!

I thought it was a good game, but the background moved to fast. It hurt my eyes after a while

Awesome color palette and artistic style. The colors in the menu seemed a bit off compared with in-game look.

The game has a good feel to it. The music contributes with a feeling og purpose of urgency.

I liked the variety in enemy formations.

Liked:
- Cool bloom effects, unified colour scheme
- Nice soundtrack!

Disliked:
- Controls felt sticky
- Repetitive game-play: possible to stick to the edge and only hit enemies after they shot

This is fun, it would be cool with bonuses for crash chaining
