Devlog 4: More UX and starting balancing

Reflector: Laser Defense
A browser game made in HTML5

This was a bit of a light week. I finished up all the UX changes I want for the initial release and got started with some balancing. It’s all playtesting from here on out until release.

Here’s what’s new:

  • New sprite for player
  • New graphics for water
  • Added description to game opening page
  • Added a dialog on game end with a restart button
  • Changed all references of pops to colonists
  • Disabled all game controls on game over
  • Increased laser power
  • Increased map size
  • Restyling of interface to better handle different screen sizes
