* fair difficulty level and great difficulty scaling, especially with the upgrades, so everyone can enjoy a substantial part of the game.

A fun take on the original Space Invaders formula with flawless SteamDeck support and nice music.

Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
Works perfectly on Linux (Fedora 36), but needs big resources in order to appear gorgeous and behave properly when it becomes enraged and just wants you to die (i7700K@4,9Ghz, Sapphire RX 5700 XT)
