This is a submission for the Web Game Challenge, Build a Game: Alien Edition
What I Built
I developed an Alien Invasion Shooter game where players control a spaceship to shoot down aliens and avoid their lasers. The game includes explosive visuals, sound effects, and power-ups for shields and extra lives, with a “Restart” button for replayability after game over.

Journey
Game Structure: Implemented core mechanics for movement, shooting, and collision detection.
Visual Effects: Added explosion GIFs and sound effects for immersive feedback, improving the gameplay experience.
Challenges: Managed simultaneous collisions, ensuring multiple explosion sounds played correctly.
Game Over & Restart: Created a “Game Over” message with the final score, but struggled with making the restart button functional.
What I Learned :
Gained insights into JavaScript’s event handling, canvas rendering, and game state management.
