Hey everyone! There is one request that is brought up over and over: "Friendly fire is annoying" "The game would be better without the freighters" "It's impossible to protect the convoy" I want to give everyone a chance to enjoy the game, so I added a new Game Mode.

Lone Wolf - Game Mode

From version 2.0.4 on you can select "Lone Wolf" game mode and play the game without the Convoy Freighters in Normal Mode difficulty. This new mode also has it's own Leaderboard, so show your friends and the world who is the greatest at surviving without any protection from the freighters! Apart from this change, 2.0.4 mostly has bug fixes and minor adjustments for the Steam Deck.

Debug branch

I got several reports of game crashes after the 2.0 update. Some of them are really hard to find. So if you notice game crashes, it would be great if you can switch to the "debug" branch in Steam if you are willing to help. You will find logfiles of the game in the folder: C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Raffa\BeatInvaders\logs It would be great if you can paste those into the "debug-feedback" channel on the Discord Server!

Patch Notes - 2.0.4

Optimizations for the Steam Deck (Camera Angle and Position, System Hack selection)
Change: The Ultrashield Special now charges up with each enemy hit. This increases it's size. After running out, a charged up Ultrashield will release a volley of projectiles.
Fixed a bug that caused a crash to desktop.
Fixed a bug where "The Hammer" boss was moving out of the screen.
Fixed a bug in the Railguns "Overcharge" Upgrade - it now works correctly!

Beat Invaders - Linux [184.03 M]

Public Linux depots

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
