Space Defenders
A downloadable game for Windows
Welcome aboard aliens! Those pesky humans are trying to take your valuable resources once again. Defend against them and protect your precious resources. Make use of your unique ability to absorb lasers to fill up your charge gauge. Be careful though as overcharging will cause you to overheat and be unable to take any action for a while!
Use your charge offensively by charging up cannons to fire back at the humans or defensively by charging up the shields that are protecting your valuable resources, the gems. The fate of your alien brethren lies in your hand. Make us proud!

Your idea was great! I did not like the controls though, the sensibility was too high for me and it may have been an issue with the programming, if you put the function that moves the ship on Update() then the faster the player's hardware more often will the ship move, making it faster than intended. I also prefer to use the arrow key rather than wasd when there is no use of the mouse.
The game was pretty easy, even with 9 ships attacking the asteroids, you could still outheal their damage, also following the principle of "given the chance the player will optimize the fun out of the game", the best strategy to win would be to leave a single ship alive and use it to charge everything which is not as fun as joggling the tasks.
All in all a great game good luck in the competition!
