Aliens vs Robots – My very own game !!

This is a game that Aldrin and I developed for our Spring 2010 class.

We used the Unity3D Game Development Engine.

The entire code is in Javascript. The Unity3D community at answers.unity3d.com is very very helpful.

You can find the game here.

You will have to install the Unity3D Web player, which should not take more than a minute to install.

Update: It seems that the game gets stuck on the Loading screen itself. I am on it.. will get it fixed soon..!
