This game has a lot of flashy lights, so if you aren't into that, you may want to turn around!

Smile Shield is my submission to Ludum Dare 46, "Keep It Alive". In this game, a little smiley face named Smith is being attacked by many projectiles. You can help protect him however with the Smile Shield! It will follow your mouse cursor throughout the level, and any bullets that come towards it will be destroyed. However, each bullet will damage a part of your shield! But, if Smith eats one of the shiny squares that fly around, the Shield will be fully healed! Keep Smith alive for as long as possible! Good Luck! This game was made entirely by me, but with some help from my friends with testing and advice.

Controls are simple, left click to navigate the menu and the shield will follow the mouse cursor. Press alt+enter for fullscreen (if it does not enable automatically).

Known Issues/bugs:

  • If a bullet spawns facing exactly up or down then the bullet is invisible. Barely happens so it should not be too much of an issue
  • 2 typos on the About page that I forgot to fix before the jam ended. The coin on the about page is also placed wrong.
