Chroma Defense is a game created for Mini Jam 62.  The theme was "Colors" and the limitation was to use only two frames in any animation.

The game is a  space shooter where you must match the color of your rays to the color of the missiles falling towards Earth.

Lives

The player has 3 ships available. If it runs out of ships the game is over.

The Earth can sustain damage from 4 missiles. More than that and the Earth is toast.


Controls

To move LEFT or RIGHT use the arrow keys.

To switch your ray's color use the following keyboard keys:

Z - Red

X - Green

C - Blue

V - Rainbow Ray (see Power Ups below)

Pressing the button will automatically change the color and shoot.  

Hitting a missile of a different color than your ray will have no effect on the missile, but you will lose points as explained below in the "Scores" section.

Power Ups

Rainbow Ray - will destroy a missile of ANY color.  You will get only 5 shots.


Score

Destroy missile, any color:  100 pts

Destroy missile with Rainbow Ray: 155 pts

Hit missile with wrong color: -55 pts (loses points)

Winning

You win the game when the Earth and you survive the last wave, right now #5.

Nice game art and music. I would only recommend making the controls a little bit easier to learn. I had a good time and managed to protect Earth! (for the first wave xD)

Thank you! I am happy it gave you some minutes of fun.

Yeah, I managed to get to the third wave after some time. Overall, great game!
