Inverse Zombies by illuware

[raw]
made by illuware for LD32 (JAM)
A simple turret shooter with a twist. No movement, just point and shoot at the Evil Red Spheres. How high can you get your score?

Sorry, the Unity WebGL preview doesn't seem to work. Also, worst screenshot ever, but it's hard to screenshot a fast-paced shooter ;)

I liked this a lot! Made me think more about spamming the mouse.

This is a great concept. I particularly like how the multiplier depends on your turret count, which encourages you to try and keep as many of them alive as possible. There may actually be a lot of strategy to where you try to hit the enemies, so that you don't end up spawning turrets in your line of fire. Unfortunately it goes a bit too fast for strategy -- maybe something similar would work well as a turn-based game?

Haha, pretty neat idea. Also kinda hard, nice job :)

It's like static asteroids, but with multiple shooters. It was more challenging than I thought it would be due to having to divide my attention between each of the turrets as they spawned and got destroyed.

I had the same problem screen-shotting my game. I ended up temporarily dropping in a Time.timeScale = 0.1 on an appropriate event in my dev build and then it was easy. I believe you can still update your screen shots.

The turrets sounded like cute little puppies being torn apart by a sawmill, but I really loved the game concept. Apply some polish and you will have one awesome game :)

That's a really novel concept and it made for interesting play. I had quite a few occasions where I'd think I would die only to find I'd *just* converted one in time.

Very simple but very fun to play. Really clever idea.

Much cooler than I expected from the screen shot - my top score was 146. Twist was excellent, a new idea to explore.
