About Neon Invaders

“Neon Invaders” is a game inspired by one of the first games ever created, Space Invaders. A shoot-up style game, where the player must defeat enemies before they reach you. With arcade mechanics and easy gameplay, it allows great fun. Defeat all enemies and win each level, advancing to accumulate the most points. The graphics were created in the neon style, they are colorful and beautiful.
