So, it doesn’t look like much but I feel like I made quite a lot of progress today. I added a couple of new weapons (including FRICKEN’ LAZER BEAMS THAT BOUNCE OFF WALLS!) and I got the enemies to walk around, shoot and hop around like lobotomized toads.

Things to do:
– Add a store in which the player can buy new upgrades
– Enemy spawning + an evolution algorithm that makes them adapt according to how much they’re getting their asses kicked
– Improve on the particle system
– Add more weapons & upgrades for both the player and the enemies
– Add something to defend (other than yourself)
– If I have time left: add the ability to build towers
– Add some kind of consequence for the player running out of HP

Here’s a playable beta version (Windows 7, 32-bit)
Controls:
WASD: move
