My Game in a Day Contribution

Welp, a buddy of mine and myself decided to take a stab at the Game in a Day competition that was being held this weekend, and we actually finished something =)
It was a great learning experience that was extremely fun. Working on insane deadlines is somewhat my forte' (as it is most developers i suppose) and it was a great personal challenge to try and actually finish something that quickly that was still fun to play and wasn't embarassing to show to the world =)
I'll probably be posting the source to the game on my blog later this week after i catchup on a few things and get the chance to go back and document the code (a /break is needed here, we had 1 day lol).
Anyways, that's all for now.. Check out the link below for the game, it's a Star Wars meets Galaga hybrid of sheer gaming pain.. watch out for the star destroyers!

Nice one.. good to see another silly star-themed game in there. Mine is still ongoing a bit. No levels in there yet and I need some more enemies (hey, I started today, so I'm technically ok :))

Hey, good job! I got up to the Star Destroyer and died. There's something very cool about having all those TIE fighter swarm down at you in a hail of laser fire. Just add a scrolling background and you could sell it! ;)

You certainly can't get cocky, I was getting had-up left, right and centre! Not bad for 20 hours work indeed! ;0D

Was very fun and tough, and makes me feel ashamed at how many hours I've put into projects and not even gotten that far

A fun game with absolutly no copyright infringment at all :-), and one of the biggest tie advanced I've ever seen.Was very fun and tough, and makes me feel ashamed at how many hours I've put into projects and not even gotten that far

That star destroyer was tough, I think it killed an entire life and then some. After that star destroyer, I was easy pickens for the next swarm of tie fighters... Still, there was something glorious about it..
