ORBIT INVADERS

Defend Earth's final orbit. Survive the fleet. Claim the global TOP.

A browser-based retro arcade space shooter inspired by classic arcade cabinets, a tribute to my first played game when I was a child (when I was 11-12 yearsl old), Space Invaders, but with a modern twist: living invader formations, destructible barriers, elite enemies, drones, power-ups, chiptune music, and a shared leaderboard across all pilots.

Features:

  • A wide catalog of invader formations with individual animations, armored elites, and phase-shifting spectral attackers
  • Chain-kill score multipliers up to ×5, with arcade-style visual feedback
  • The Nucleon Weapon: charge it through combo kills, then unleash an invulnerable beam sweep that clears the formation
  • Destructible barriers with localized damage
  • Command Sectors every 5 waves, with an exclusive formation and a guaranteed mother ship
  • Boss battles on waves 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 — five pixel-art dreadnoughts with integrity bars, escalating phases, and telegraphed, readable attacks
  • A full campaign up to wave 100, ending in a dedicated victory sequence after defeating Xenarch Prime
  • Positive and negative power-ups: double shot, bomb, shields, structural reinforcement, and more
  • EXTEND and ORBIT letter systems for extra lives and defensive drones
  • Full keyboard, touch, and gamepad support
  • An in-game CODEX cataloging every threat and item
  • A retro jukebox with a reactive bar/oscilloscope visualizer
  • A persistent global TOP 5 leaderboard

Just play and have fun.
