Space Invaders

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.

You can kill enemies by jumping on them or by good old shooting. But be careful, we equipped you with bouncy bullets!

About the game

The game is basically an action platformer.. sort of. There is artificial centrifugal gravity. There is no up and down. The outer circle works as a floor, inner circle (if there is one) as a ceiling. You are a spider so you can crawl on the ceiling too but when you leave it, the gravity (or centrifugal force) pulls you "down" to the outer edge.

The game is easy and short. I'm super happy with the visuals and animations. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Music

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

Local multiplayer?

It would be cool, wouldn't it? Maybe I can add it in a post-compo version just to see how fun it could be...
