“Splodey Vaders is a classic shoot ’em up with a twist. From what started as a riff on Space Invaders, developer Stuart Lilford threw in a smattering of Asteroids and shook things up. It’s got some great aesthetics, with a real Game Boy vibe.” – wordsaboutgames.net

Can you provide an Android APK directly to itch that doesn’t require Google Play Services? I specifically buy games from itch.io to avoid that.

This is a really fun game :D. Loving every second of it. Nice job on putting a twist on a bullet hell

Glad you're enjoying it!

Fantastic game! Love This stile!

Thanks so much! Glad you like it :D

Interesting game, looks like Galaxians or similar but plays completely differently!  With debris and score multipliers this was very different and quickly became very challenging. Would have liked the ability to turn off SFX (the shooting effect was very monotonous after a while!) and kept the music, which I quite liked, unless I missed that option?


Overall nicely done, sir!
