Here is my entry, a bit late but oh well.

I hope there aren't any bugs or mistakes and that I will get that medal (it was a big motivation).

Nice work. Medal earned.

Looks like I'm beyond late, it's 1/31/2018 1:20 AM over here, but I'm still going to jump on the challenge and see where it leads

I've literally got less than a day to do this...

Best of luck! I'm trying to fit in some time tonight if possible to finish this challenge, been a busy week though!

Just an FYI, usually when the due date is set to January 31 2018, you have until that day is over to submit your entry, unless I'm wrong.  I was told the final day to submit is the 31st, so you still have time.

Done!

Just about finished my entry. Mainly visual improvements from last time.

Gameplay:

The most the biggest challenge out of the occasional bug or feature I've never implemented before was balancing and making the game challenging enough. Before starting development the gameplay flow seemed quite intuitive but once the elements were fleshed out it was tough to decide how many enemies should come at each wave, how fast they should go, how many bombs should you have and specially how these waves would progress after every level. It certainly can be improved in this matter.

Nevertheless I was able to learn a lot of things from this challenge. Will try to write a post mortem later and edit it here

Very nice!!!  Good work!

It's almost 5 PM so I'm trying to rush to see if I can get an entry in before day end! I hope!!!

Edit: Blah, too much work today, looks like I miss out on this one! I'll wait for the next one! Good job everyone who submitted!

Got mine up to a point where I think I am ready to show it. Hope it's still before the buzzer.

I figured Missile Command was a good starting point for an idea I'd been kicking around, where you were a hero defending a city by doing a whole lotta' punching stuff. So I ended up naming mine Missile Puncher.  Instead of shooting missiles at missiles, you fly around punching them, building up a special meter which can charge an instant teleport, or a short beam attack.

It still needs a big art pass, but I'm pretty happy with the underlying mechanics. So far there's kind of just a "play til' your dead" mode, but I want to start thinking out some discreet levels with some more challenges and enemies. Put it up in html5 on itch as I wasn't sure where else to host it.

Nice concept! Almost like superman flying around punching missiles away!
