Trailer
Trailer for 'Invaders: Corruption' showing off the procedurally generated arena-shooter game-play.
About
Invaders: Corruption is a fully procedurally generated arena shooter. That means, after entering a seed-key, every enemy, the appearance of your ship, the arena itself, the gameplay and so forth - will be based on whatever key you entered. Different key, different looking and behaving game. Of course, you can share cool keys with your friends online.
Design: The game mixes retro stylings and sounds with todays technology & understanding of arcade action. Glowing pixelated sprites meet today's graphics capabilities. Online HI-Scores and leader-board are available. Compare against your friends and the world's top invader hunters.
What's in that box?
Glad you asked! Content quantity is the strength of procedural generation, so of course Invaders features a lot of contents. But don't fret - I made sure that it meets quality standards as well, to hopefully keep you glued to the screen for quite a while.
Among other things Invaders features:
- 12 completely distinct enemy types, with...
- 20 different AI behaviors that get mixed & matched
- 10 different power-ups helping you get rid of them
- 13 unique animated backgrounds to keep you distracted
- 20 minutes of restless-leg-syndrome inducing chip-tunes
- Top 20 and monthly online scoring system
- An (neigh) infinite number of looks for both enemies and your ship

LOL!
Hey, Thanks for all the nice comments. You have no idea how happy this makes me.
As for the guys having problems with crashes or otherwise, I guess that's due to the Desura version being quite old. (1.2.2) - I have uploaded the newest version (1.2.7) to Desura right now, I'm still new to this so I hope everything goes smoothly. If you haven't played this version - I highly recommend it - it adds a ton of fixes and new features - even new power-ups and enemies...
Thanks again and have fun!
