This is an (unfinished) turn-based strategy game based loosely on the board game The Awful Green Things from Outer Space.
Play it here. Best played in a desktop browser.
It's nearly impossible to win right now without some tuning. Try to kill all the aliens!
- Click on a button to select an action for each crew member (blue eyes).
- Aliens (red eyes) are controlled by an AI.
- The camera can be moved using the arrow keys.
Developed using Phaser 3 and Typescript.
It's the first "real" game I made!
I built this with a self-imposed 5-day time limit to see how far I could get, so there's a lot of rough edges that I would like to clean up or spend more time on. The time limit helped me to focus on what needed to be done but it's still pretty far from being a complete game. I think it can be made pretty fun with a little more design and polish, so I might come back to it later.
I did some annotation of the source here or use my other tool (Annotato) to view!
