Nebula Marauders by wally2069

[raw]
made by wally2069 for LD25 (JAM)
Aliens are attacking cities around the world. Inspired by a cross between two of the eighties style games but the roles are reversed as the high overlords will tolerate nothing short of human annihilation. Descend upon the citizenry with outer space might and level the planet down to ashes.

Take on the role of intergalactic demolisher and clear out the planet for a extra terrestrial day spa to be built in its wake. Zap those human buildings out of the way.

Cool little game. The villain twist really made this different than the original.

I didn't get any audio, but I think I saw an audio program listed at the end... is there supposed to be audio?

@dansludumdare: I was going to add the sound effects but simply ran out of time, will be working on a post compo version later.

Nice idea, really liked being the boss at the end. It might have been a bit more fun if it was faster and tougher but overall a pretty solid entry.

I like the the idea. The gameplay is too slow for me; making it faster would have been good.

From dansludumdare's comment, I'm not sure if the lack of audio is intentional, but I didn't hear any.

Kinda neat, but your d00dz get in the way a lot and would have just been better if they were gone. Also, some of the towers start firing like crazy and there's no way to shoot them.
