Nice, I had in mind to give invaders a try… you had still quite some space ;) there’s room for some improvements… I missed a “win/die & replay state”, aliens firing back (and that would benefit from the cover in the original). Still a nice impressive entry, great job!

Thanks, glad to see somebody likes this. I know there's lots of room for improvement, I've been working on a full-featured 2-tweet version with destructible barriers and all, but didn't manage to shrink it down enough by the deadline. Still about 100 chars over the limit.
