Final version (probably)

Space invaders
A browser game made in HTML5

I’ve completed everything I wanted to make the game feel polished.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Added player and enemy colors

  • Added sound effects

  • Implemented death animations for both enemies and the player

  • Revamped bullet collisions and gave bullets different sizes

  • Added statistics tracking

  • Implemented ramping difficulty: enemy cooldowns decrease on wave clear, and their speed increases when they reach screen edges

  • Added volume and player color options

  • Added a shooting star (because why not!)

  • Synced enemy animations with their movement

Things I could still improve:

  • The pause and game over interfaces could be better

  • There’s a minor bug where an artifact sometimes appears with the player’s bullet

Overall, I’m happy with how the game turned out!
