Turtle: Invaders is a fixed-axis 2D shooter with netplay.

This is a complete remake of the original Turtle: Invaders using Lua and Löve Potion for 3DS Homebrew to create a fun game.

Installation

Available in 3DSX and CIA formats.

• CIA - Install the .cia with the CIA manager of your choice.
• 3DSX - Use the .3dsx provided with the Homebrew Launcher.

User guide

Bats come in and it's your job to destroy them. Some will drop powerups that will aid - and some will harm.

There are two game modes: Arcade and Endless.

Arcade is about getting a general high score based on a small story. In this you'll encounter a mega space bat, raccoon, and a phoenix. Once you've defeated the Phoenix, you win.

You can play as various characters who have unique abilities as well. Try them all to find which one you like the best!

Endless mode is just that - endless. Try and get the highest score possible.
