Retro Invaders Playdate
A downloadable game
Retro Invaders is a small experimental project for the Playdate. It's my first project on the platform and has served as a test bed for learning the C API and creating my own dev framework with a view to writing more stuff for this excellent little device.
It's a fully playable version of Space Invaders with simple power ups and increasing difficulty. The game is free to download and quite fun to play.

I love how smooth and polished this looks and feels to play! Can't wait to see what you make for the Playdate next.
Thank you. My next project has robots...
Hi - just posted up a little video review if anyone is interested (hope you don't mind me putting a link here?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhdQK8WrMqo
Oh lovely, thanks for the review! :o)
Solid. Enjoyed the empowering feeling of the power ups :)
Thanks! :o)
Excellent jeu! Merci. 2450
Merci, je vous en prie :o)
very good
Thank you
Have side loaded this and looking forward to giving it a try a bit later tonight :D I’ve only made a couple of simple games in Pulp but it’s a really fun system to develop for.
Had time for a few goes and this is great! Managed 2660 and reached level 4 (I think) so a long way to go to reach 10!
Going for the power ups makes all the difference when it comes to clearing the enemy waves, and they all offer different, useful advantages
Love the recoil animation when you shoot and the pixel shatter effect when you get hit. Really looking forward to whatever you come up with next for the Playdate :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Yeh the Playdate is an awesome piece of kit and lovely to develop for. The restrictions you have just seem to make it more fun.
