This game is made for the GMTK 2023 Game Jam. The theme was Roles Reversed.

 This is a twist on retro arcade space shooters like Space Invaders, Galaga, etc. Instead of playing as one ship against an army of invaders, you command waves of ships to defend your mothership against a solo ace pilot.

Controls: Click Launch buttons to send waves of ships to destroy chaotic intruder.

Known issues: The enemy respawn script is not currently functioning. Clicking the Launch buttons in rapid succession causes the ship spawner script to short circuit. 

This was a solo project by Blast9.

The concept was really cool, just that the space man was killed and the game continued, so idk what was supposed to happen, anyway really cool :)

I wasn't quite able to get the enemy respawn working before the game jam deadline, so unfortunately that leaves a large hole in the game. Hopefully it at least shows off a single loop of gameplay. Thanks for playing!
