Almost two weeks since the start of the competition. I encourage everyone who is willing or feels comfortable to share his plans, concepts or WIP with the community, to make the flow of the competition more interesting.
A note that few planned concepts for the competition have already been revealed in the FBGD forum.
Cheers!

I will be working on my creation over the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm giving myself 10 days to get the bulk of my game done. My game is a combination of a top-down shooter and Tetris. Enemies are coming down at you to destroy your shields and as you shoot them, they break apart into pieces that you fit (Tetris Style) to build up your defense. Complete Tetris lines increase your shields, where enemy parts that don't fit build up and potentially will collapse your base.
That's my idea. We will see if it comes together.
