So first off this is my first graphical game and is strongly based off of Cokeandcode’s game Space Invaders with quite a bit of changes! I am not going to put all the features in here but I will give you a link to see them all! I really want constructive criticism and no hate please no hate! It is Space Invader’s with a twist. You play as a cat! You are trying to shoot mice. I know it is cheesy but it is my first Java Graphical game and I am deciding where to go from here.

You can play the game by downloading the .jar here: http://assets.gamesmith.co.cc/catInvaders_003/Cat%20Invaders.jar
You can see a full list of features and a download to the source code here: http://gamesmith.co.cc/?p=61

Here is how you play:
Left/Right Arrow Keys = Move
Spacebar = Shoot
1, 2, 3, 4 = While in your current game just hit one of those keys to change the difficulty. Your next game will be in the selected difficulty.

Difficulty Levels

1 = Easy
2 = Normal (Default)
3 = Hard
4 = Impossible

Really good! My only complaints:

1)The background is boring
2)The font is generic, make it something fun by this (if you didn’t know):

g.setFont(new Font("FONT_NAME", 5, FONT_SIZE));

My suggestions:

  • powerup like other invader, like milk, wool ball, bell etc
  • sfx, nyan is preferred
  • different movement
  • cat animation
  • menu
  • what above me said

nice remake!
