Zeroptian Invasion

Playing and reviewing Zeroptian Invasion which is essentially a version of Space Invaders & Galaxions is pretty much a labour of love for me as i had a Space Invaders clone published back in 1984. Now onto the game, graphics are as you would expect but they look good albeit just a single colour but they are of a good size and move very well and are very well designed and wouldn't look out of place in the early 80's. Sound wise this is my area of expertise as i'm a musician, a really good effort has been made to create a chiptune which isn't as easy as it sounds in today's market but i've got to say it's rather good and it gets better the further you get into the game and the sound effects are also of a high standard too. Gameplay does follow quite closely to almost any invaders type game so it's shoot the aliens, collect power ups and avoid the enemy bullets and progress to the next level but there is some nice large bosses to deal with as well but it's all pretty straight forward. ...

*You cannot hold down the button to shoot *You cannot move up and down *From what I saw, the primary weapon basically never changes. *If you turn off the game you lose all progress. I understand that "feel" you are going for but some people like accessibility options

This modern day game will take you back in time, where games were hard and chances scarce. Albeit hard, pretty addictive when you like to destroy aliens for a while, enjoying a good chiptune soundtrack and arcade gameplay.

Space Invaders inspired action.

"Zeroptian Invasion" (2018) is a neat little game which is obviously inspired by the classic shoot 'em up arcade game "Space Invaders" (1978). It isn't simply copying that game though. It features unique sprites, unique mechanics which change depending on what level you are on and unique bosses. And most importantly: This game has really good music. I haven't heard a single soundtrack in this game which I disliked. You always start a run with 2 lives, but you can get bonus-lives during your runs. One important thing to note is that you won't start the game over entirely if you game over, instead you will start over at the beginning of the section you died in. Each section of this game is divided into 3 levels + an "R" Stage at the beginning of each section except for the first one with one boss at the end of each section. You know that you have beaten a section after you have unlocked a new colour. If I didn't miscount there are around 19 or 20 levels + the 5 "R" stages. "R" levels ...

I had this game on my radar for some time, but was reluctant to push the button as I am quite particular about this genre (being in the age group where most of my life was spent at the local arcade). My mind was put at ease within a few minutes of playing as the look and feel of the game is fantastic. I will provide a detailed update after I get a chance to put in some hours, but I just wanted to thank the developer for putting a big smile on my face and capturing the genre so well.

A brilliant little fixed shooter that pays homage to the classics of the late 70s/early 80s. The gameplay is simple, featuring a ship that shoots one bullet at a time, and can collect three different powerups as you fight your way through a number of suprisingly distinct worlds, each with their own enemies and bosses. Each enemy has a distinct look and behavior, requiring specific tactics to defeat. The graphics, likewise, are reminiscent of the games that inspired it, and the CRT filter is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended

Great game. It wears it's inspirations on it's sleeve, and does what it says on the tin. I like the gameplay, the difficulty, music, and interesting use of colour. Recommended.

Very retro pixelart game reminding me mainly of space invaders. I'm sure there's other but they aren't well known to me. This game is pure nostalgia for a few bucks, has a lovely 8-bit music soundtrack and I stumbled upon this game purely by coincidence. Or well, at least RNG. See how that went in my [url=https://youtu.be/gVMUaDDM-sM] Forced Impressions [/url]

It's fun, Its just a different take on the old classic formula, but it still works for a reason. Its Awesome! It plays very smooth and once you get fully upgraded you can really light em up, pew pew! I dig the crt effect, it really gives it those retro vibes with the warm glow of crt that makes you just wanna huddle around it with a pocket full of quarters.
