[Phaser 3] Another version of Space Invaders

Showcase
1

Hi all !. Lately, I’ve jumped into making some simple games with Phaser, just for fun. Created a repository to stash them all in one place.

In this post, I want to share the first one, “Invader”, yet another iteration of “Space Invaders” :slight_smile: .

Source code: GitHub Repository
Demo: Invader Demo

Some things I’ve tried in this game:

  • Positional Sound: simply by changing the value of the ‘WebAudioSound.pan’ property, I could move the sound to the right or left.
  • Gamepad control
  • ‘Arcade.Body.directControl’: I’ve used this property to move the enemies without losing collision detection. When an enemy was hit, I would deactivate this property so that inertia and gravity could take effect.
  • ‘FX.ColorMatrix.desaturateLuminance()’: adds a touch of drama to the ‘game over’ screen.

Tools used:

  • Graphics: Aseprite
  • Sound: MPC Beats and Audacity
  • Code: Visual Studio Code

Thanks for your time. I hope you like it.

I really like the animations, the background setting and the way you play by the enemies falling on you, trying to avoid them. It’s just not responsive.

I really like the art style and how you made the game feel really unique by adding a unique twist on the classic game. The idea of having the ships collide with you when you shoot them down is really cool. Took me a second to realize I kept dying lol.

Thanks again for sharing, and for sharing the source code!
