Space Invaders 2006 is a reinterpretation of Space Invaders for the Atari 2006.
In over 23 modes, you're shooting your way through at breakneck speed. Whether it's Invisible Enemies, Stronger Enemies, Multiple Shots, Fast Enemies, or Time Trial, each game mode has its own separate high score, and you can even save a replay of your best shootouts.
It was part of the PSPSource.de LUA Coding Competition 2006 (1st place).
User guide
Sequence A1 is the standard space invaders mode: You can have only one shot on screen. Aliens shoot not often, etc.
Every other sequence is a modification to that, it changes the gameplay a little. For each sequence there are icons displayed to show you what changed. The following basic modification are available, a sequence can mix them:
- Fast Alien Shots = The alien shots fall faster toward the player.
- Many Alien Shots = The aliens shoot like crazy.
- Invisible Aliens = The aliens are only shown for short period if you hit one.
- Weird Alien Shots = The alien shots move left or right while falling.
- Doubleshot = You can have two shots on screen at the same time.
- Multishot = You can have four shots on screen at the same time.
There is one special modification: Time Trial.
You have to clear all aliens as fast as possible, if the screen is cleared the game is over. You start score is set to 10000.
To simulate a time trial, the score will constantly decrease. You have unlimited lives, but every lost live will cost you many points, as you have to wait until your ship is repaired.
