The Truth About The Pyramids by little-burrito
Story:
As we all know, the pyramids were built by Aliens. What most people don't know is that the pyramids are actually spaceships that were used to conquer the earth! Let's rewind 5000 years into the past and re-experience the moment of us overcoming their attack in the thrilling, photo realistic sci-fi shooter!
================================
Goals:
You are the mage defending against the pyramid. Don't die.
If all the people die, you lose.
Kill the pyramid to win.
================================
Controls:
WASD - Move
Left mouse button - Press to place a magical rocket - hold down to charge - release to fire. If the rocket doesn't hit the pyramid it will fall back to earth and explode, so watch out!
Right mouse button - Hold down the right mouse button and make a circle with the mouse to create a shield. The shield will be created when you let go of the mouse button. The bigger the shield, the shorter it will last.
================================

Personally I think this has much lower quality than my other LD entries. I was planning to only work on it for 6 hours, so my ambition level was very low. I did it all on my laptop while stationed in the sofa. It turned into double the time I had planned, and at least it turned out good enough to kill a bit of time for me. What I think personally it's missing the most (as in, it could obviously be improved in pretty much every single other aspect as well :) ) is stuff like intros, outros, health meters and other indicatiors. And sound of course. The idea was for the pyramid to crash and take the position it's in today when you kill it. Anyway, pay attention to the pyramid just wreaking havoc on the world if you do nothing. That's probably what turned out the best. If you scare the people that start outside the houses they will also act a bit more naturally, they're less static after that.

The truth about the Pyramids. I'm too tired to explain anything - I'll be back for that! :)
I had very little time this time around, but I squeezed something in :)

Good job!
And yeah, the missing sound was pretty funny. I was thinking of the sounds, making sound effects with my mouth all the time while playing, but I had the laptop on really low volume and just completely forgot that computer programs can also play sounds :D
