Woah! Space Invaders meets genetic algorithms! Some pretty fun ideas. Go into this knowing it was created by college students trying to prove a thesis, and you will be much happier.

That said, there is quite a bit to like in this game. Lots of unlockable ships and upgrades. Think of it as a campaign, where you try to keep pace with the alien upgrades with your own ship upgrades, except the aliens are watching to see where your play-style is the weakest. This looks like it was a big university effort, so you get a lot of polish here for the price. Fun and compelling. (Just be sure that you are ready for a space invaders style gameplay.)

Works on ubuntu linux 16.04 through 20.04 with radeon mesa drivers. Unity engine. I could not get a gamepad to work. I could not get multiplayer to work. Nice graphics, but slow load times.
