Electronic Abduction

"Electronic Abduction" A game where if you can't have internet, no one can! Fly a UFO and beam up as many devices as you can, while avoiding those who want to protect humanities electronics! #arcade #retro #roguelike

This is my first GameJam, so any feedback and advice would be great. I will continue to update this game constantly for the duration of the GameJam, and have lost many hours of sleep. Gotta make up for being a week behind, shame I didn't find out about this sooner.

At first, I wanted to make a wave surfing game, but I found it hard to make it fun, so I decided to go with my backup idea, a game where you have to steal electronics. Turns out that was more fun to design and program. Not saying it was easy, but either way, I learned how to use GMS 2 much more efficiently and basically trained me to think of strategies to solve whatever problem I have. I also learned how to obtain data and ask questions to beta testers (they're in the credits), how to deal with random values, and especially global variables.
