Bland Space Invaders.. Blog
7th August 2021
This week's SmileBASIC game is currently an incredibly bland looking Space Invaders clone.

-=-=-

I coded the majority of the game in a couple of hours, last night.
You. Enemy. Bullets. Bangs. Background. Stars. Player Two. Job done.
I've even balanced the baddies weapons enough to make a decent enough game.

*shrugs*

It is what it is, I guess.
I'd love to be able to add something interesting into the mix, but .. My mind's gone completely blank at this point.

Too much coding, perhaps?!
Maybe.

I also can't think of anything interesting to do for the LowRezJam other than the obvious SpikeDislike in 64x64 pixels.
Bah, humbug.

Maybe I need to have a retro gaming session, and pinch some fresh/old ideas for a bit...?
Yeah, I might go and do that.
To the GPDxd!!
