SPACE INVADERS - GENERATION ALPHA

DESCRIPTION

Based on the 1978 Space Invaders shoot'em up arcade game developed by the legendary Tomohiro Nishikado, this prototype iterates upon the classic title by inviting a new generation of players to experience retro gaming.

The game-play itself is seemingly lifted from the original - the good stuff has been retained whilst improving the core experience by adding a 3D component, an upgrade system, and a better overall UI experience.

While navigating in a new 3D environment, the goal stays the same: defeat wave after wave of descending aliens by moving horizontally around a planet on an axis and shooting lasers to earn as many points as possible.

The new upgrade system can be unlocked by levelling up, offering  the player greater replay value and the satisfaction of gaining a new capability each time.

We do hope that this remake will offer a new generation the chance to experience one of the most influential games in history, as well as give the original fans a brand new way to play Space Invaders all over again.
