Polar Defender

Defend the solar system from an alien invasion on this modern twist on space invaders.

With two game modes four levels and a bunch of aliens to destroy, there's plenty of fun in this messy space shoot-em-up.

An entry for js13kgames. I've wanted to do something with polar coordinates since working on the ABC 2013-14 ashes catches game, so here's a little radial shooter for a bit of fun.

Building

  • npm run build builds everything into dist/

Platform support

The game has been tested and made to work on the major browsers.

Browser Support Mobile
Chrome A+ Yes
Firefox A+ Yes
Safari B Yes
Android Browser 4+ B+ Yes
Internet Explorer F No

There have been reports IE just displays a blank screen, but I haven't got a Windows machine or the time to debug it. The game should (eventually) work on IE 9+.

Safari on iOS is kinda slow. It's playable but visibly choppy. I'm not sure if it's slower hardware, browser or both.

js13k

The #js13k build is in a separate "js13k" branch, and includes some last-minute optimisations to bring it under the required filesize. The branch is provided as a reference only and is out of sync with master.
