Great redesign of space invaders, gameplay works very nice, great job.

Haha that was fun :) Good job on the intro I enjoyed it.

krisdevelopment 2015-08-24 15:50

Haha nice aproach on the theme :D

Great voxel graphics and I'm impressed with all the voice work. The cut scenes were a bit long, but overall, great entry.

sedsibi 2015-08-24 16:36

Great game, fun and funny. The graphic style was really unique and fit the retro theme. Great story. The only down side was on the third wave (with the screen clearing bombs) after beating the two stations the level didn't end.

This is one of my favorites so far.

Really great game. Had the same bug as @Sedsibi though where level 3 didn't end when I killed all the humans, eventually I lost once all my aliens hit the bottom of the screen. I thinks it's because I killed both humans with one of the bomb aliens? Tried it twice but same thing happened, haven't been able to kill both humans with a normal alien on that one yet to see if it's the bomb ones in particular

Couldn't get passed level 3 due to a bug, but seems like a great parody.

lanestp 2015-08-25 13:56

Level 3 fixed!

shawn42 2015-08-25 17:02

I literally LOL'd at work and had to show this to a coworker... great job (especially the cut scenes!)

Super funny! Loved the voice acting. Music left some to be desired though.
An interesting take on a classic! Good work!

crucknuk 2015-08-26 16:44

Love the design and animation. Voices made me laugh xD

glimaleite 2015-08-26 18:44

Great job on the voice work and texts, I had a blast! The gameplay got a bit repetitive after a while though. Great job!

bouletmarc 2015-08-26 21:24

really fun game, I enjoyed playing it, made me remind of that classic game but playing role invertly, I noted that its kinda hard and should be a bit more easier, getting died 4x times at the levels 3 made me think I suck at it and not really want to continue the story.

kepamun 2015-08-26 22:04

Loved the character design and the graphics. Voice acting was a nice touch and really enhanced the humor in the gameplay.

benjamin-soule 2015-08-26 22:18

I died 7-8 time on the level with 4x megabombs and gave up. But I eally wanted to know the end of the story the anrrative sequences were funny. For this LD I first searched for a classic game to reverse the boss / hero mechanic and didnt think that space invader was possible for that. What you found here was clever and very easy to play, good job !

fenreliania 2015-08-27 09:02

Interesting take on reversing space invaders, but it was often more frustrating than fun. The humour was nice but its pacing was a bit off sometimes. Great graphics though, nice adaptation of the old graphics into 3D.

yamzho 2015-08-27 10:19

Haha, love the cut scenes !

pebkac 2015-08-28 07:03

Insane amount of polish. Ridiculous amount of cinematics. Very nice graphics. And all this in Compo!

Awesome!

onionblitz 2015-08-30 10:14

Great job, loved the voice acting. :D

kersplotchpolice 2015-08-30 16:40

Really good game, good concept, visually stunning and well implemented. Amazing work.

teesquared 2015-08-30 16:41

I never realized how hard it is to be a stupid alien! Hilarious. Game is tough but I kept trying. Great game.

chuckeles 2015-08-30 17:25

Awesome transitions, animations and cutscenes! :D Even your voice :P. But the music...

puppetmaster 2015-08-30 18:47

Awesome particle effects, cool idea! Congraz, cool entry!

mustaine 2015-08-30 19:39

Futurama inspired, love it!

Pilot: Sir, we're losing ships! What are your orders!?
Lrrr: Increase speed, drop down, and reverse direction!

mase 2015-08-30 21:40

The colorful voxel graphics are attractive. Really nice animated menus as well.

I failed on the level in which the brain attacks alone. I didn't have the patience for it.

bender 2015-08-31 00:28

5/5 for the acting performance :D LD games need more voice over!

adaymc 2015-08-31 21:54

Very good idea making those kind of invaders mechanics.

Good aspect in general and nice finished product

guoboism 2015-09-01 07:33

Cool menu stuff...And reverse game design make me laugh! Great game!

mantis 2015-09-01 12:51

Really cool game! Loved the interludes. GO GO POWER BRAINER!

nikteddy92 2015-09-01 23:36

Hahahaaha great idea!
I like how you made the levels look like and the graphic is cool!
Love the cutscenes!
Well done!

mykaelos 2015-09-02 10:51

This is a really excellent game! The voxel art and animations are awesome and feel great, and are an excellent nod to the original game. The stage where you have four bomb invaders was a little too hard for me (there seems to be very little room for error with three shooters). Otherwise, just wow. I'm impressed with how much you got done in such a short amount of time! And the cut scenes really made me chuckle.

crazyminnowstudio 2015-09-04 02:37

Fantastic! Great humor, nice game mechanic (it's fun to play on the other side), award winning voice over work (slight exaggeration). A really fun game, and a great submission. Great job!
