Use of the limitation
The original game Space Invaders contains a myth that aliens have come to conquer Earth, although I couldn't find anything stated by the game's creator that confirmed this. But the myth itself is boring and doesn't really lend itself to a game, so I added a small sequel: after being defeated, they became stronger and want to conquer the entire solar system.

This was a very good invaders style game and you should keep working on it, but I don't think it had anything to do with the limitation.
The problem is, I’m not a game designer and wouldn’t be able to integrate my myth well. I’m a programmer and have no idea what good game design is. So I had to create the myth as a preface to the game, as lore. In the original game, no one talked about anything either, and I decided that would have seriously disrupted the esthetics of the game.
love to see games focused on gameplay more then the art , doesn't fit the theme to well but everything else is rly good
It was alot of fun to play!
THAT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!
Nice sounds, great concept too, found it a bit hard but thats on me
Rather fun and addictive.
I for some reason got a LOT of slowdown at odd times, especially when the vertical beams for that first boss appeared the first time, and right as I died the game just slowed to a speed of like 2 fps or something. I suspected there might be some intentionally bullet-time stuff in the game, but those two occurrences felt odd.
Other than that, this is a solid (if relatively simple) twin-stick shooter with the fanciness dialed up.
Well, slow down is intentional on hp loss and upgrades :D
You should add some impacts like shakes. But this game is peak! Rate me too ;3
