Aliens! They're attacking Earth, and for some reason they're using a Breakout style strategy for their invasion. You decide to take it upon yourself to defend the planet against these ghastly intruders.

Controls: Arrow left/right to move, A/D to tilt your paddle, Space to hold on to an asteroid. But the chief commander will explain it all to you.

Note: Game might take a minute to load. Seems like my loading screen is not working properly, so it starts out with an unresponsive black screen. Working on a fix.

There are 4 levels. With a bit of, uh, let's call it cutscenes in between.

Graphics are mostly created with Midjourney, plus some heavy postprocessing on my side.

Music by TeknoAxe ("Edge of Tomorrow" and "Driving to the Future").

Game engine and physics engine written by myself, so please forgive any hickups. :)

Changelog:

- October 3rd: a bunch of small post-release bugfixes within 2 hours after initial release, e.g. bug in explosion calculation, issues with player name input, last level being unbeatable after latest balancing changes., music was not looping.
- October 4th: hotfix of a bug that caused the game to crash for some players
- October 8th: fix of a bug that broke mouse controls in the menu for some screen resolutions; plus general screen resolution fixes, as in previous versions the game canvas didn't adapt properly to all resolutions
