Rhythmic Invasion

Overview

Take over the planet in this space-invaders stylised musical puzzle game. Your invaders will each react to different musical elements, so you'll need to prepare your army strategically.

Controls

Click and drag your invaders into the starting area.
Press the space button (or press the play button) to teset your strategy.
Press the minus key to skip any level you're having trouble with.
Press Escape to exit the game (or don't, we love you).
Press Control+V to paste a custom level. If the level doesn't load then there is either a bug (my bad) or the level is invalid (check brackets, spelling and make sure there are vertical pipes between each section).

Custom Levels

The game has full custom level support built into the downloadable Windows version. Custom levels can be loaded by pressing CNTRL+V while in any level. This is a game jam game though, so it may be buggy.

The following is an example of how elements are loaded (uploaded before the submission date):
