Netflix Launched For GoogleTV!

Requiem was contracted by Netflix to create the front-end user interface and login credential checking for its TV/Movie streaming application on the first generation GoogleTV device. Given extremely short notice, an aggresive timeline and incomplete APIs, we delivered the working product weeks before deadline.


Arrival: Galactic Defense PDF Print E-mail

ArrivalAliens are planning a massive assault on Earth, but you are going to take the fight to them! Defend your tower and battle alien forces on five (5) planets against four (4) unique alien races. Collect and save resources to upgrade your tower and add new units, special attacks and abitilies to help defeat the alien scourge.

Drifting through space in a mining and exploration rig you accidentally intercept a message signaling a hostile invasion of Earth. You must defend against the invasion forces and warn the inhabitants of Earth before it is too late.

Use your ships on-board robot factory to build troops to cripple the aliens on their home worlds as you make the race home. Gather Interplanetary Resources (IPR) to use as raw materials for research and creation of new weapons and units.

 

The Tower

The deep space mining and exploration rig is not designed for galactic war, but thanks to the autonomous on board research factory, it can adapt and produce powerful military units. The rig will automatically transform into a defensive base upon landing on a new planet. Equipped with base ground units and a simple turret the tower is able to defend against basic threats.

The aliens will send out waves of troops in increasing difficulty. After each wave of aliens is defeated, collected IPR can be used to purchase tower upgrades from the research factory. When you defeat the forces of a planet the upgrades will be lost. They are simply too heavy to launch into space and haul to the next planet.

 

Tower Upgrades

When a level is upgraded it allows for the use or creation of different units, weapons or repairs. A level must be upgraded before the corresponding units, weapons or repairs can be purchased or used.


Turret - The standby defensive and offensive weapon. It is cheap to use, and allows for manual control when precision is necessary. When upgraded, the turret is able to deliver a more powerful payload for any of the three core weapon types.


Repair - Fix up troops in the field. When upgraded, the repair level is able to fix more efficiently, and even revive disabled units.


Special - Turn the tide of any battle by launching a special attack. When upgraded, the special level will add a new attack type.


Air - Create and deploy flying units. The air level comes default with the MB-2000 flying soldier. When upgraded, the air level will allow for the creation of more powerful air units.


Ground - Create and deploy ground forces. The ground level comes default with the MB-100 and MB-200 units. When upgraded, the ground level will allow for the creation of more powerful ground units.
