Download Defender by KingHamster

Don't run out of disk space!
Defend the computer from incoming files.
Shoot lasers out of your robot eyeballs to toast photos and malicious downloads. Crush files with a one-hit-kill melee attack. What file is going to resist a pounding from a huge red robot's devastating mechanical claws? Certainly not your grandma's email attachments.
Collect floppy disks for powerups.
- Antivirus shield will help defend against malicious files.
- Blank disk will increase total disk space.
- Firewall will destroy all downloads on screen.
Controls
Move the red robot with WASD / arrow keys.
Use the mouse to aim and shoot lasers.
P - Pause
M - Mute sound
Notes
This is my first Ludum Dare submission and the first game I have written in 20 years.
Worked alone but would really like an opportunity to collaborate with a 2D artist.

Liked the particles and simplistic graphics. :smile:

But the sound effects were bit too sharp for my taste..
(You'll get coolness points, and people will see your game!)
It looks like when i save powerups for later, as soon as i pick up 1 the all disappear? Also when this happened with 3 powerups on the field that's when the game crashed.
Other then it's an interesting spin on the defend genre where hp is memory space. (+points for having html5 build)
The sound can be muted with M but since it's such a common criticism I will reduce the volume when I get home.
A touch too easy. I held onto my firewalls until needed.
Confusing Babe reference.
Will play again.
