I had a hard time coming up with an idea, so shelved it for a while, but then something came to me. Basically, I am making a zuma style game with a space invaders theme. There are some interesting twists I plan on integrating, and all in all it might turn out to be a pretty fun little arcade game. I had some fun making some decent art and getting the basic code framework set up. At this point you can win, although it’s got a long way to go. You can shoot the invaders with different colored bullets, if the colors match the invader is destroyed; otherwise the bullet bounces back. What’s missing is the invader ai, and of course, the chain reactions themselves. When an invader dies, he is going to coat nearby invaders with magnetized energy causing them to be drawn together. If the color matches on any colliding invaders, they will also explode

I actually do like my art, although it’s a bit too primary color. I’ll probably experiment with different shades of stuff, and add some more gradient to the palettes. If I finish the game first and have time left over
