--Backstory--

Yes, that's right, Wolf is back after a long break from Love2D, he's much more organized and still doesn't understand mapping! :D

But, now he has a graphic designer to accompany him, and the two of them have made this. Martian Madness. It's pretty damn simple, really just a way to show my graphic designer basic code, but it could turn into something really cool. So try it out, *cluck* (or nah). And tell us what you think so far!

--Game Features--

You are a space ranger sent out to control the martian poplulation, but they aren't too happy about that! Since they have nothing but their bodies, they hurl themselves at you and your ship! Shoot them down or dodge them, either way staying alive the longest is your goal! Post your best scores (with screenies to prove it) on this thread! :D

We plan to add.
--Acheivments
--Saving
--Some sort of shop/money system
--More powerups

Added
--Nuke Powerup! (v.03)

Hope you enjoy playing around with it, maybe it'll become something great, in the mean time, peace out.

It shows the no-game screen :(
It also says that is's an invalid zip.

By the way, computer is Windows 8 Laptop, just in case you're curious or it's system related.

Probably related to the fact we never upgraded to 0.9.0
so yeh...

The problem is that the .love archive is a RAR archive.
It should be a .zip or a .7z archive (.zip preferred).

The code also references some file names with incorrect letter casing.
Here is a patch that fixes that: https://gist.github.com/crumblingstatue ... 0ce853cc8c

A zip and a zip alone.

Physfs supports 7zip archives though.
What are the factors that could prevent LÖVE from working with 7zip archives?

Hey guys thanks for the help with the .zip/.rar stuff. the .love works now! :)

Also the capitalization issues were my graphic designer going in and doing stuff in my code, me-sorry. XD

New version works perfectly.
