Space Invaders

A remake of the 1978 arcade classic Space Invaders.

History

Originally developed and published by Taito Corporation, Space Invaders was a ground breaking achievement in video games. Players defended Earth from the oncoming alien invasion giving players a new incentive to engage with digital experiences.

Gameplay

The player controls the laser cannon and shoots aliens as they invade Earth. Earth has four shield defense bases that both the player and alien can damage with their projectiles. The game is over when the player loses all lives or all aliens are destroyed  before they reach Earth. 

My version of Space Invaders is not a 1:1 remake of the original. Details are missing and some gameplay elements have been omitted, this is simply a fun project paying homage to one of the legends.
