Space Invaders

-> LUDUM DARE PAGE

Description

A swarm of weird space insect-like replicator robots attacked our space station. Although they are deadly, they are luckily quite primitive. Your mission is to eliminate those (tiny) creatures. Go to the training room and then clear out all 8 levels of the base.

About the game

The game is basically an action platformer.. sort of. Except there is artificial centrifugal gravity. There is no up and down, you'll see.

Music

I’d love to create a sci-fi variant of The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss as a little easter egg (2001 Space Odyssey). But it came to my mind too late and I didn’t make it (there is only some kind of simple ambiance) :( So please at least imagine the music while playing the game :)
