Nice twist on alien invader, works with the theme and has a decent difficulty curve to it. Good job!

Nice implemention of the theme! Although the game start all of a suddden, which catches me off guard, I really have fun. It is quite thrilling when there is only one enemy left and it speeds up to attack. Kinda expect more diffrent enemies and attack patterns, though.

Good game! I like the idea. Also my friend and i were thinking about a sim game about ludum dare and one of the games, that you could play there was space invaders. And then we found your game and it was a bit funny. Thank you for this game!

So it's nice implementation of a classic game. I have not found any bugs or problems. Just I am not fan of arcanoid games and I have not found any intresting innovations. So, sorry just average scores.
