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...

Please let me know if there’s a good time for us to connect. Your work has the potential to thrive on SnackR, and we’re excited about the possibilities of collaborating with you!

Dear BitGlint,
I hope you’re doing well! My name is Ren, and I’m reaching out from Banzan Studios, the team behind SnackR—an exciting new platform that combines the best of TikTok, YouTube, and Patreon, specifically designed for creators like you.
We’ve been following your work, and we’re particularly impressed by your project, "Retro Invaders". The creativity behind it caught our attention, and we believe it would resonate well with our growing audience on SnackR.
SnackR is an all-in-one platform where creators can share games, animations, and comics, and engage with a dedicated mobile-first audience. This is built by a team of folks who have been creators themselves and have faced the same problems that young creators like you do. Each feature and functionality is built while keeping the ‘Creator’ in mind. We're focused on giving creators control over their content and its reach, and we'd love for you to be part of this journey.
While "Retro Invaders" truly stood out to us, you’re not limited to submitting just that—we’d be thrilled to explore any other game or project you think might be a great fit for SnackR as well.
If you're interested in learning more about how SnackR could benefit you and help you reach new audiences, I’d love to discuss this further. Please let me know if you’re available for a quick chat. Feel free to check us out in the meantime: Website: https://banzan.co/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/banzanstudios/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/banzanstudios/
I’ll also share a short video showcasing what SnackR is all about—this will give you a better sense of how we’re creating a platform tailored for creators like you: ~ https://www.instagram.com/p/DCVjW1LIM07/

Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

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.
