Orbital Defense is a small game made over the course of a weekend for Mini Jam 174.

The theme for the jam was "Defense" and the limitation was "Only one resource", so my idea was to make an arcade game where the health of the player was tied to the score, so the score could fluctuate. However, I think that idea was kind of counter-intuitive to a highscore-chasing arcade game, because the moment you lose health (or score) you essentially can't get a new highscore.

I struggled with this issue for a while and in the end I figured the game as a whole would need redoing, so I just carried on and this is the product.

Nonetheless, I had a fun time working on shaders and making the juice for this game, and overall I'm fine with how it turned out.
