Beat Invaders is a space-themed shoot-em-up with a musical twist! A convoy of space freighters needs to ship their cargo - the hottest music tracks in town - to the beat-hungry interstellar clubs scattered across the galaxy. However, their path is blocked by swarms of music-hating hordes! It’s your job to protect those freighters at all costs, and help the universe to dance the night away once more!
Your delivery isn’t all that’s musical, too - so are the enemies! Gameplay is set to an expansive EDM soundtrack, and your opponents’ movements and firing rates are dictated by each song’s beat and tempo. With each round, the music gets faster and more complex, and so do the horde’s capabilities! Can you keep up with the beat and avoid defeat?
Features:

Retro Space Invaders style gameplay for that arcade nostalgia, but with slick modern graphics and gorgeous background visualisers
Atmospheric electronic and vocal soundtrack with 21 tracks that sets the pace of your adversaries, making each round unique to its song
Upgrade your ship’s attack and defence systems between enemy waves
Boss battle! The chief music-hater makes his appearance, and it ain’t pretty!
High score challenge! Compare your scores to other Beat Invaders players across the world, and try to beat their records!
Full mouse, keyboard and controller support
