Yay for a last minute procrastination entry into the contest! I worked on this concept when the contest was announced, nailing down the basics of the game, but most of the work I did today!  The main purpose for this entry is that I have completed the goal of entering a contest even if I don't win. Hopefully participation will give me motivation in later times.

More modifications/improvement of the game will be implemented after the contest. This is probably the best of the three (unreleased) shooting games I have made. 

Oh yeah, if I need to mention it, the AI is the enemies. 

P.S. The title is based of a Wii homebrew game "They Do Not Die." My brother and I came up with it. 

nice, and i like it how the title is displayed as The Squares...Die on the nspire :-)

the bombs are cool but it seems like the first time it did not decrease when you fired one, or am i wrong?

I tried the game and it's very nice
A suggestion: what about keeping the player moving, like in asteroids ? That might make it more fun.
Also, I think the AI get's too smart too fast .. but that might be fun

Indeed. Very, very nice game. Congratulations !

And for me, Sorry but I find the controls very bad. It may also be because of the TouchPad, so it's not necessarily your fault on that point. And I know 8 shooting directions + 4 moves aren't easy to put on the keyboard

yes, a bit fast for me too. Especially with the controls, I want to smash the Nspire because the enemies were chasing after me and it scares the sh*t ouf of me each time I move and they almost catch me while I'm trying to shoot x)

Very nice game

The controls are very intuitive, but not so easy.

Thanks. I spent a lot of time nailing down the little explosions, the bombs, the title shooting, and other little pretty things.
