Submission for BTP Game Jam # 3 - My first ever game jam!

Theme is "Less is more":

It is a simple top down space shooter where you get more points for the enemy if it is killed when the wave timer is closer to 0! Time it correctly however, because if you don't manage to kill the wave before the timer runs out, it is game over!

Note the multiplier which increases with time up right.

Alarm will sound on 10s left 3 times and for 5 seconds (max multiplier) 5 times

Controls:

W/S or UP/DOWN - thrust forward / backward

Mouse L-click / Space - Fire

Aim with mouse [Mouse aim]

or

A/D - turn left / right [Rotation aim]

I hope you enjoy my small creation

Game Update v1.1 (After game jam feedback):

+Updated control options: Now aim with mouse as alternative to rotation aim

+Added new enemy type

+Added multiplier to UI so it is more clear what enemy current enemy score is multiplied with

+Added sounds for hits, different explosions, timer alarm when time is running out, and more.

+Differentiated explosions between enemy types. More colors!

+Made timer turn orange when 10s left. Red when 5s left. This is combined with new sounds to increase clarity for when timer is running out.

+Restricting timer to not increase hysterically if you kill enemies fast (Which you should not for maximum score!)

+Fixed menus

+General Bug fixes and clean up

Really cool game! Awesome visuals, music, and menu design. Great risk-reward system with the scoring but it was a bit hard to try to get a high score when the bullets and enemies were so small. Maybe if the player shot a laser or the bullets were a lot bigger than it would be easier to hit enemies. P.S congrats on finishing so early!

Thanks man! Some fair critique right there. Thank you for checking out my game! Oh and I did not actually finish early at all, I just test uploaded an early build a couple of days ago and itch seem to think that was when i submitted the final version :).

Thank you for your kind words!
