Ace of Bases
Ace of Bases is an interesting mix of Space Invaders and Missile Command gameplay by Matt of Shmup Dev. Matt says “I was inspired by a contest we ran… So I designed a short little game in 24 hours.”
Version 2.0 is now up, and I finally downloaded it and gave it a try. I admit that I avoided it for awhile, the reason being quite simple: I never liked Missile Command.
I do, however, like the idea of putting together a game quickly, to test an idea out. I prefer a more traditional shmup style of game, but you never know until you try. The game itself is packaged very nicely. Great choice of colours, great sound, and the mouse control works surprisingly well.
Move your ship back and forth, firing bullets and missiles, while protecting yourself and your cities from a variety of enemies. A nice added touch is the shrapnel from an explosion that falls to Earth, burning up as it falls.
