*** DANGER * DANGER * DANGER ***
A pink mother ship has just approached planet Earth and is ready to take over your home planet. Earth engages a force field to keep the alien out. However the alien has other ideas. Alien ships are beamed out of the mother ship and are heading towards the cities. Luckily your help is at hand.
Your mission is to patrol a fighter and blast wave after wave of the tumbling alien ships. They cannot shoot, but they can destroy the cities. You must defend those cities. Each alien has a different scoring value, according to the alien type that approaches the city.
For every level complete, a bonus will be added according to the number of cities that have been saved. After each level is complete. The cities are rebuilt and you will face a harder stage.
Watch out for the pink mothership's laser, because at the end of the day, you do not want to be ZZAPPED IN THE BUTT!.
Collect power ups for different firepower or activate a temporary timed barrier to protect the remaining cities.
How far can you get? Can you save Planet Earth?

I got a chance to play your game and it looks like a homage of the 1980s arcade games. Mostly it looks like a combination of the game Defender meets Space Invader. However, there are a few suggestions that I spot that could be a problem. First keep the background still because the spinning lights can be either distraction or straining on the eyes. Maybe replace it with non-moving twinkle stars in the background with a streaking shooting star that appear randomly, but rare in the background. Next include a timer to create goal and stakes to the game play. Finally, include a weapon upgrade like twin laser. I hope that these suggestions would help improve your game.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. I'm still a beginner with Unity, but with additional suggestions and ideas like this. I can hopefully upgrade this game now and then with other suggestions/improvements. Thumbs up :)
No problem.
