Another journey back to the tradition of the arcade, Base Station sees you take command of a ship with a singular mission: Destroy the invading alien fleet. Reminiscent of “Bosconian”, this game requires you to destroy all Base Stations before progressing to the next level. During your mission you will encounter enemy ships, meteors, and space mines.
For this game I have also returned to Javascript/DHTML rather than Flash. This is a deliberate choice, because I am still committed to showing the power of javascript as a game programming language. I have managed to overcome the problem faced with my previous JS games, which prohibited use of Arrow keys for movement. In this game I have suppressed their default behavior, so the player can use Arrow keys. I’ve also implemented cross browser sound by embedding sound files via Flash. This is a technique I have borrowed from www.schillmania.com.
Enjoy the game.
