3D Space Invaders

THE INVASION HAS EVOLVED

Remember Space Invaders? Now experience it like never before. This isn't your arcade's quarter-muncher—it's a fully 3D, third-person shooter with a dynamic camera, voxel-style graphics, destructible barriers, boss battles, and aliens that actually fight back with intelligent weapons.

Pilot your ship through infinite waves of aliens, face massive bosses every 5 levels, and collect power-ups as the difficulty scales from RECRUIT to IMPOSSIBLE.

INFINITE LEVELS. ENDLESS CHALLENGE.

• Formula-based difficulty scaling — Speed, fire rate, and alien count increase each wave
• Hyperspace warp transitions between levels
• Difficulty tiers: RECRUIT → SOLDIER → VETERAN → ELITE → COMMANDER → LEGENDARY → IMPOSSIBLE
• Bonus points for completing levels and perfect round rewards for no-damage clears

EPIC BOSS BATTLES

Every 5 levels, face a unique boss instead of alien waves:

• Mothership (Level 5, 25, 45...) — Classic UFO with rotating lights and multi-phase health
• Hive Queen (Level 10, 30, 50...) — Insectoid swarm leader that spawns minions
• Dreadnought (Level 15, 35, 55...) — Heavy armored warship with devastating firepower
• Phantom (Level 20, 40, 60...) — Stealth abilities and unpredictable attacks
• Titan (Level 25, 45, 65...) — Massive ultimate challenge

Bosses get stronger each time they reappear. Full barrier repair before each fight!

SEVEN ALIEN SPECIES

Each row brings a different threat with dramatically enhanced animations:

• Octopus Aliens — Ripple tentacle waving, breathing body, glowing eyes (60 pts)
• Crab Aliens — Snappy claws, nervous scuttle, eye stalks that bob (50 pts)
• Squid Aliens — Jet propulsion swimming with trailing legs (40 pts)
• UFO Aliens — Chasing rim lights, gyroscopic hover, spinning rotation (30 pts)
• Tank Aliens — Tracking cannon with recoil, fires homing missiles with particle trails! (20 pts)
• Beetle Aliens — Classic 70s arcade insect with scuttling legs, fires Web Bombs creating danger zones! (10 pts)
• Invader Aliens — Retro 1-bit silhouette with center blaster, fires fast Blaster Bolts!

DEADLY COUNTER-FIRE

This isn't a shooting gallery. Aliens shoot back with:

• Standard Missiles — Red projectiles aimed at your position
• Homing Missiles — Smart-tracking with particle trails, limited turn radius, one-pass targeting
• Web Bombs — Slow green projectiles that create persistent danger zones for 2.5 seconds
• Blaster Bolts — High-speed straight shots that demand quick reflexes

Pro tip: You can shoot down incoming missiles for defensive play!

KAMIKAZE SWOOP ATTACKS

When fewer than 5 aliens remain, they become desperate:

• 1-second warning — Aliens pulse and shake while a siren plays
• High-speed dive — They break formation and swoop at you 60% faster
• Unpredictable patterns — Sine-wave paths on X and Y axes with banking motion
• Miss and they teleport back to attack again!

POWER-UPS

Collect drops from destroyed aliens (10% chance):

• Rapid Fire (Red) — Hold to unleash a stream of missiles
• Spread Shot (Yellow) — Fire 3 missiles at once
• Barrier Repair (Green) — Instantly rebuild all defensive barriers

Effects last 10 seconds!

DESTRUCTIBLE BARRIERS

Four voxel-based barriers provide cover with radial destruction physics. Missiles blast realistic holes in the structure. Satisfying crunch sounds on impact. Fully destructible and repairable via power-ups.

FEEL THE BOOM

Massive, earth-shaking explosions powered by 7-layer procedural audio synthesis. No audio files—everything generated in real-time through the Web Audio API. You'll feel every alien you destroy and definitely know when you get hit (1.5x intensity!).
