Alien Deathmatch

woot!

A year ago, I drew sprites for a planned DS Alien Breed clone...

I never used them!

This year I decided to use them..


woot!

Things are coming together quite nicely, and even without any actual deaths in the mix, it's becoming quite a lot of fun!

The plan is, instead of making a level-based structure, to create a series of Deathmatch type arenas, and create a game where enemies randomly spawn and come running at you!
Each arena would have it's own highscores, with things like run time, highest multiplier, enemy kills and things like that all being counted.

There's a series of basic weapons in the game, which power up as you go along, but I'll also be adding other pickup weapons which will switch in for a limited period of time.

At this point I'm not really sure which would be more fun, life wise...
Would it be...
A) 3 Lives. 1 Hit each.
B) 1 Life + Health gauge..
or
C) 1 Life. 1 Hit..
And I'm really tempted to make it C!

More details soon..

for arena play, i'd be tempted to say (B) since you're supposed to be fending off waves of enemies. © would more than likely just get frustrating, and (A) would be o.k. just as long as there wasn't too many things shooting at you at once.
