ABOUT:
So, I had the idea of a side scrolling shoot em up, but instead of controlling the attacking space ship you would control the enemy base, positioning all the defenses in the level and defending it from attacking A.I. ships. Sort of like a tower defense game.
That idea turned into Cosmic Renovator.
Now though, you have to attack the fortress first, in the traditional shoot em up fashion and then once you have taken it over, you switch to defending it, buying various weapons to do so, and leasing out land within the complex if you need more cash.
Originally I intended some of the invaders to be other Scratch users who were playing the level you just made and you would be able to watch them as your defenses [hopefully] took them out. Unfortunately I couldn't pull it off :( so now there are only A.I. invaders. Still pretty cool though, I reckon.
If you did manage to defend against a few rounds of A.I. invaders, your level defenses would be saved to the cloud with your name registered and that became the actual level players would see from then on.
But what happened soon after releasing the game was @colinmacc came along and constructed a level so impossible that no one would ever be able to get past it. Not really ideal...
So now what happens is after you've defended your fortress from 3 or 4 waves of attackers, your username will be saved and shown at the beginning of that level, but the defenses are returned to the safe factory settings that everyone can enjoy. Phew!
You can also build a level in Freebuild mode and share the code in the comments or the official forum for others to try it out.
So, that's the game. I hope you enjoy it.
Hey, you read all the way to the bottom. [Or at least scrolled to the bottom]
