Beat Invaders (tuxdb.com)

Hey everyone!

As it was pointed out in the Community Hub by players, it was often happening that Drones, either in Drone Waves or as smaller groups, moved so much to the side that the multiplier was lost. This is, of course, not the ideal behaviour - so this was fixed alongside with more fixes and some small balancing changes. There was also another important change! For many players it was frustrating to completely lose the multiplier - and in some circumstances it can happen pretty quickly. That caused the feeling that the run was already lost and worth nothing. To counter this, the multiplier will now decay instead of instantly reset. You will now have two seconds where the multiplier decays until it hits zero. Cheers Raffa

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?

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!
