Genius!

Good work, especially for a first project! I got 4640. I like how you don't tell the player exactly what they'll be doing in the description - I laughed out loud as soon as I realized what was going on. I also like the conflict of protecting the ship versus not blocking its shots. That said, the ship does miss a lot, especially when there aren't many enemies left. I'm guessing that's because the ship moves to a randomly generated position after each shot. If the random positions were restricted to where enemies are (or soon will be), it could quicken the pace of the game.

Hey, big thanks! Perhaps I shouldn't have said first project, but this is the first thing I've finished. I've also been thinking about ways to make the ship move a bit smarter, so keep an eye out for that! Glad you enjoyed!

This game is very nice, but I’d speed up the game so it’s funnier and harder. Nice job!

Definitely a really cool concept and a nice twist on space invaders!  I think if the enemies aimed better or if there was a variation in the game play it would be really strong, great addition!

This is a really cool idea. I think adding some sort of difficulty curve where the enemies start to specifically target the turret and  move faster would be cool. Nice job though!

cool concept ^^ , i think the game play is kind of dry, i think it would of been a bit more fun if the player could control the defense and the shooting ship.

Yeah,  couldn't figure out why that was happening.  Hope you try out the other version anyway!

Hello, I tried to play the downloaded game, but I also get an error: 'failed to load mono'. I don't know what it is, I hope you can solve it!

Ah sorry for a late reply! Should be working now.  failed to load mono means i forgot to include a certain type of file in the download and unity started freaking out. Now after 40 minutes you may be able to play a sub-par game. Enjoy!

Hey! Congratulations for your effort. I have already been able to play it. If you doubt, the idea is very cool and fits the theme. I had a lot of fun playing!
