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

Patch 2.1.9 - Patch Notes

Hey everyone,

thanks to everyone that used the feedback feature of the game to send in suggestions and bug reports.
It weren't many, but I finally found time to tackle them!

Here are the most recent changes:

Rebalanced the Railgun Class, the charge time is now much more consistent and shorter in higher Charge upgrade levels.
Increased the width of the Railgun projectile.
Made the Railgun feel more powerful (sounds and visual effects).
Fixed a bug when the Convoy was not going to cover behind the player when activating an Attack Boost right after another Attack Boost ran out.
Slightly reduced the overall glow effect of the game.
Ship Meta Upgrade cost was overall reduced, some perks were slightly increased in cost - this will reduce the "grind".
Fixed a translation file error in the Controls menu (rebinding controls popup).
