Interstellar Invaders

󠀡

Pong meet Space Invaders meets Missile Command, with a curveball twist! Fun and funny, with each level introducing a new mechanic or challenge! Big bonus: You can play it with a friend in couch-coop. Note: I played this game extensively at MAGFest 2018 piror to its launch. Tremendous fun.

Good retro stylized game! Visuals are unique but evocative, reminding me of its clear classic game inspirations (Missile Command, Breakout, Galaga, etc). Audio is really satisfying, both the music and effects. The gameplay has tons of variety so you never feel like you had the same experience twice, and procedural levels keep things infinitely fresh - but the designed levels are really fun to beat too! It does what it does well, and nothing more. I hope it comes to mobile someday!

I’m on a breakout testing spree on Steam. This game offers a surprisingly smooth blend of genres — the different elements of the design and story complement each other beautifully. Well done.

Interstellar Invaders is a pretty fun mash up of some arcade classics with the game oozing wonderful arcade charm. There are lots of neat twists like being able to guide the direction of the ball to knock out lots of aliens/bugs at once, and crazy powerups that make for some hectic and exciting situations. The ability to quickly restart levels, fight randomly generated waves, and play coop with a friend gives the game great value. The game seems mostly complete currently so it'll be cool to see what additions are made before full release.

Albert Einstein once said "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler," my friends, when our dear companion Al wrote that quote he MUST have been looking toward the future, he was talking directly about Interstellar Invaders. Growing up I was never a video game kid, I would play Lego Star Wars only when my brother asked, but now I have found my video game calling. The game is simple so I am able to understand it, but tricky so I still feel accomplished, it makes me feel smarter each second I play. And it's fun! The graphics are great. The story line is riveting (I mean seriously, which urban planner decided to build three identical cities RIGHT next to each other?!). The music is banging, I once hooked it up to the aux chord and threw a party just to this soundtrack! All that is to say: This is the best game ever and you should go to great lengths to be able to play it!

Interstellar Invaders is a shoot em up mixed with a brick breaker, with the twist that you can steer the ball. While a simple premice, the game executes it very well. It's easy to jump into but difficult to master, and the variety of power ups, random levels, and different enemy types and attacks keep it interesting. This is strong arcade-style game for people looking for something interesting in a genre which is now relatively dormant.
