Cash Invaders

Development

The player and enemy explosion animations are sampled from a rented VHS tape with the movie Independence Day. More specifically, it's the first explosions on the ground in the scene where the UFO fighters swarm the army base.

Sound Effects

Two sound effect samples were taken from the game Gore: Ultimate Soldier: an Uzi shot and a bullet impact sound. The bullet impact sound is heard when hitting the shields, first seen in level 7. The coin catching sound effect was created by recording the sound of some (then new Euro) coins thrown together.
