Space Invaders Added

"20 Games Challenge" Project
A browser game made in HTML5

I've finally added saving; high scores now autosave upon returning to the main menu. Perhaps more importantly, I've finished my first "Game 3" of this project (which now contains 5 games total), Space Invaders. I also rearranged the main menu again to accommodate the "Game 3"s.

Key features of this new game include:

  • Custom pixel art that's at least somewhat better than my previous attempts at pixel art (projectiles are still Kenney assets though)
  • Music (by Kenney, not attempting that myself yet)
  • Numerous sound effects (also Kenney)
  • Screen shake that I'm not quite satisfied with
  • Particle effects that *won't* (or at least shouldn't) freeze the game
  • A grid of aliens that occasionally drift out of alignment for reasons I think I know how to fix, but probably won't for a while
  • And possibly more, depending on how many basic things you feel like calling "key features"

On a side note, I've made a video devlog for the previous games (see attachments). I'll most likely make another once I've finished "Game 3", though I'm tempted to just make them for individual games, starting with one for Space Invaders; in either case, stay tuned for more.
