Yeah so I made a game out of the blue in 2 nights, just thought I'd see what other people think about it. It was made hastily in Game Maker, so there are a few bugs.
It's an arcade-ish game where you control a spaceship and fight off tanks and generic military stuff.
Z is shoot a Tractor (grabs enemies up and drops them to destroy them)
X is to use your shield (only available when you're blinking) / X fires the machine gun on the alternate ship.
C is to stop moving horizontally.
The arrow keys control movement.
R allows you to reset the game.

Z to color with Tractor Paint (grabs enemies up and drops them to destroy them)

Tell me what you think about it here.
I think it's pretty cool, especially in only two nights. Can you port to flash and embed in the forum so we can play it here?
Its a good concept. I would like if the space craft could take them onboard as points. Maybe the higher the enemies get the smaller they become? And getting caught in your own tractor beams is a bit frustrating when your on a roll lol.

Thanks! I am not a programmer*, so I can't make a flash version though. If you're having some problems with it though, I can see if I can get up on a different hosting site.

Good work
Thanks for the compliment! I decided to make it so that you can destroy enemies by running into them (while tractored) on easy mode. Still not sure if I should put it in hard mode, since it's kind of a noteable mechanic.
I'm sticking with the tractor affecting your own ship, though. You can be unaffected by it if you press down or up, and it kind of gives you a reason to not go trigger happy.
Alright, I downloaded it, but cannot test it off hand right yet. But will look at it later to see how well it is. I do not know much about Game Maker or its limits, but probably better then I ever could wish to do.
Mega edit:
Found time to check it out, made a crap equal review on it. As in video, the fact I did that was to give demonstration as well for no true purpose. And yes I was bored and sleepy when I made it, not to mention the computer fan noise lol. But I pointed out some things, take a look at it.
PS: Where does it save game high scores, if it does. Exit out, come back and play, it still had scores from last game.

Still using placeholder "sprites".

Old build is here, incase anybody cares.
