The Aliens Are Here!!!
Invaders from space are attacking and you are the first, last and only line of defense!
Space Invaders is an iconic game with plenty of closens, and the video game covers back in the 80s gave the impression of impressive graphics and advanced game play - but in the end the reality was pixels attacking pixels (although really fun to play9.
In this game jam, you can chose from four covers from different home versions of Space Invaders and create the game that match the cover art.
The idea is to make a tribute to the game art primarily, if it turn out to be a 2D pixel shooter or a 3D FPS game with all bells and whistles is up t you.
COVERS
When the jam starts, there will be four Space Invader game covers to chose from. Use the cover art as inspiration for your own game in any way you see fit.
DISCORD
Why not get social on our Discord server? Chat with jammers, ask questions, get help or help others out!
RULES
- The game should be made within the timeframe of the Jam, but preparation and re-use of assets, code and music/sfx is allowed (You must have the right to use the assets, and due credits should be given on the submission page and also preferably in game).
- Do not use AI generated assets (images, sprites, models, sound or music) - there are loads of talented people that will gladly help or have already provided free (or cheap) assets to use.
- Any game engine can be used, and any target platform is allowed but experience says that a WebGL build is often played more.
- Teams of up to four persons are allowed.
- Late submissions are possible during the rating period, and it is also allowed to upload bug fixes and such - after all, the idea is to learn and improve.
Any questions? Just ask in the community page or on the discord server.
VOTING
After the submission deadline, there will be a voting period with the following categories:
- Overall - Is this game fun and great in all aspects?
- Cover inspiration - How well the game reflects the cover in all aspects (look, gameplay and so on)
- Playability - How fun is the game to play? Responsive controls? Or do the resemble the original game? That might be extra points :)
- Graphics - Does the game look awesome? Are assets coherent in look and design?
- Sound - Is the music inspired by the original game in some way? Or does it just reflect the cover in a very good way or just really awesome?
But most important is to give feedback and comments to help eachother evolve!
