This is a small fun project I developed as my first Ludum Dare event (46) participation game (under the pseudonym reallyqbert, because why not).

The theme of the jam is "Keep Alive" and so the aim of the game is quite simple: keep yourself alive as long as possible by evading or shooting the aliens that seem to threaten to swarm you every now and then. Keep an eye on your energy, because shooting and colliding with aliens reduces your energy. Once it turns zero, you won't be able to shoot and a single hit will kill you. Luckily, shooting aliens tend to drop an energy booster, which will replenish your energy if picked up.

There is no music because I couldn't find a decent royalty free music to use in the game. The sound fx I've generated using Bfxr. All of the crappy art (except background) was done by yours truly. 

Since this is my first ever gam jam (let alone Ludum Dare) entry, please be gentle.

Despite the simplistic nature of the game, I hope it's fun even if only for a brief while.
