Alien Invasion

This was originally going to be Dodgebrawl (a Brawl Stars kinda sorta game), but I do not want to do all that crap. So instead I just made this simple Alien shooter game. The controls are a little wonky only because I don't want to purchase Pico-8 right now. And I am sorry to people without mouses (is it mouses or mice, someone tell me), but you do need a mouse to play. You might be able to use a D-Pad, but good luck with that.

Controls

Left Arrow key= make you go left
Right Arrow key= make you go right
Up arrow key= make you go up
Down Arrow key= make you go down

Mouse= move the target shooter cursor thingy
Left Mouse Button= shoot bullet lasers

Plz plz plz give feedback. I might update this game sometime, maybe not, I don't know right now. Anyways, have fun :)

If I can kick or hug those alien, will be great. When hug, that alien will be my follower and fight with other aliens.


Unfortunately, I could only play for about 30 seconds before giving up. I think it is a great start, but the biggest issue is the controls. They are a bit confusing. Also the simple background makes it difficult to comprehend where you are spatially. My recommendation would be to have a static, recognizable background (e.g., a forest, a graveyard, or a map that has an occasional structure). Just a recommendation from a player, not a programmer, because Lord knows I couldn't do what you just did!


It's fun, thanks for sharing! But yes the controls make it hard, and the difficulty seems like it would still be too hard even if I could control it with dual sticks (which would be my preference).

I was able to play a little bit with the Dpad and mouse, which for me was better than arrow keys and mouse. WASD keys would help a lot of players but I am not sure how hard that is to add.

But I think this has a lot of potential and you should keep going! I know the cost doesn't seem like much to many of us, but it is a lot to some people, especially in certain parts of the world where USD are expensive.
