LATEST UPDATE: 12th December 2008

This updated version of Alien Invasion now contains multiple levels. As you progress through the levels the background changes every so often, and game difficulty is increased gradually with enemies getting quicker and firing more rapidly. I am still trying to optimise the game difficulty, so I would appreciate any feedback regarding whether the game is currently too hard or easy. If you also have any opinions on how the gameplay could be improved further, please let me know as well.

My next objective is to attempt to create the High Score table. I have never previously managed to implement such a feature in any of my projects, but hopefully by doing a bit of research, I will be able to implement the High Score table before Christmas. Wish me luck!

FIRST VERSION OF ALIEN INVASION UPLOADED: 5th December 2008

Programmed in Flash with Actionscript 3.0, Alien Invasion is a 2D shooter in the mould of Space Invaders. At the moment there is only a single level, but over the next few weeks I will be adding more levels with varied backgrounds and enemies, as well as sound effects. So at the moment you can test out the difficulty of my game, and in the final version I hope to have a fully integrated High Score table which updates with the best scores achieved by players across the web.
