Moondar by leafo
Life seemed so normal driving around your moon buggy on planet Moondar, until
one day aliens invaded. You narrowly escaped their mothership but
your moon buggy was damaged and is now out of control.
Travel across Moondar on your runaway moon buggy, narrowly avoiding obstacles
while shooting aliens who try to attack you from above. Are you good enough to
make it across Moondar? (Hint: you aren't, the game lasts forever.)
Controls
--------------------------
* W A S D - Move
* Mouse - Aim and shoot
* Space - Jump
How to play
--------------------------
Your buggy can be in one of three rows at any given time. The on screen
indicator on the top right will tell which one you are in. As the buggy moves
obstacles will take up an entire row for a brief period of time. Move the buggy
out of the way to avoid collision. Hitting an obstacle will take 1/3 of your
health.
In order to control the buggy stand inside one of the control platforms on
either the left or right and then move your player either up or down against
the buggy.
Watch for the flashing lights in the indicator to see when obstacles are
approaching.
While you are driving, enemies will attack you from above. Shoot them to clear
them out while grabbing extra points.

I unfortunately found the game itself incredibly difficult and was unable to survive for very long. I just tended to get swarmed by enemies.
Though a small gripe, I also found it a bit annoying that despite the controls being WASD + Mouse, I had to press Enter to restart / continue, it would have been nice if it was something closer to the WASD keys on the keyboard.
Very solid for a compo version.
Honestly, the only tip I could think of is the omnipresent UPGRADEZ!1 It would be nice to upgrade you dude and the buggy (better steering, earlier wall warnings, etc.)
The only large issue I can think of is the fact that the gameplay is far from minimal, hehe.
Pretty hectic, but fun and because the enemies become predicatble after you played it, is is doable.
So I like it a lot.
Also a plus for the in-game music. Good build up!
HOLD ON! Where is the theme? Well I liked it anyway.
I didn't get that far at the time of this comment, but I may try again later.
