beat invaders

Beat Invaders is a rythm tower defence game with a sequencer!

made for GMTK Game Jam 2025

build your loop - play your loop - defend the invaders

IMPORTANT:

If you open the game in fullscreen you have to click on the screen with the mouse to be able to use keyboard input. 

HOW TO PLAY:

You play by creating a sequence and playing that sequence using your keyboard. 

Creating the sequence happens when the sequencer is blinking purple the next empty step you select gets added to your beat.

Whenever you successfully hit a step in your sequence by pressing the corresponding key at the right time, you shoot one of the enemies coming towards you. 
 

each track has a corresponding keyboard key and "tower"

track 1 = d

track 2 = f

track 3 = j

track 4 = k

the different tracks work as different "towers"

track 1 = laser tower

track 2 = slow tower

track 3 = chain tower (when chained enemies are shot with laser they all die)

track 4 = gather tower (gathers enemies together)

the game gets faster when you miss a step or when you play a step that was not in your sequence, be careful when creating the sequence!
