Official Description (Ad Blurb)

Beat Invaders is a space-themed action roguelite 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!  Protect those freighters and their precious cargo 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?


Upgrade your space ship and unlock different ship classes to take on enemies on harder difficulties. The upgrades can be reset and redestributed to try out different strategies with different ship classes.


Create devastating combos using events and boosts that wipe out screens full of enemies in seconds!


Event waves and mini events break up the pace and make for fun, rewarding challenges.

Features:
Retro Space Invaders style gameplay with a next level roguelite action twist. * Upgrade your ship’s attack and defence systems between enemy waves. * Mini-events, Booster pickup items and different event waves make for challenging combos. * Improve your ship’s sub-system, unlock new weapons and convoy gadgets between runs. * Boss battle!  The chief music-hater makes his appearance, and it ain’t pretty! * High score challenge!  Compare your scores to your friends playing Beat Invaders*, and try to beat their records! * Full mouse, keyboard and controller support. * Atmospheric electronic and vocal soundtrack with 22 tracks that sets the pace of your adversaries, making each round unique to its song.
