Groove Coaster is an iOS and arcade rhythm game developed by Taito and released in 2011. The game is a spin off from Space Invaders but is a totally different beast, being more of a synesthesia game where visuals and music merge to create an explosion for the senses.
The beauty of the game is difficult to convey through still images but I've tried and the results are below,
There are few video game pixels as well known as the Space Invaders alien. It has transcended video games and become an icon for video gaming as a whole.
Infinity Gene builds upon what has gone before but introduces evolutionary elements in which your core cannon develops abilities and new ways to fire. The game still uses its iconic pixel art but the backgrounds have been modernised and improved and the movements of everything is smooth and artistically interesting. As an update and re-invigoration of a classic Space Invaders Infinity Gene gets a lot right!
I worked for 2 years at a wonderful school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia called iCAN and this is what my office looked like. A few post-its brought it to life. Simple and effective, why not give it a try yourself?
