I loved the original game as a kid and was obsessed with it for a good 2 days so this was a nice throwback ^_^
i do miss the Qix from the original. and i kept trying to shoot through the terrain with the spyhunter car due to muscle memory LOL. but i like that the space invaders ship isnt a complete dud like in the original and that you put in the time to give each enemy type new sprites for when pacman ate the pellet
I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, I kinda just.. didn't wanna add Qix... but I hope Octoroks were a fair replacement! I tried a lot to make sure space invaders felt accurate but wasn't more than the original games, so it can just shoot through walls. I was initially considering allowing you to shoot through terrain but I kinda forgot, oops.
I'm also glad you enjoyed the unique sprites for each enemy! It was something I thought would really elevate the game feel so I'm glad you appreciate it.
Yeah, unfortunately Godot is quite large, but even without that the pck (the game's stuff) is 7.5MB. I think that can be put down to using streamed music rather than MIDIs, and my terrible spaghetti code.
Loved RCF as long as I can remember; instilled in me a deep love for General Midi Square Lead and glitch art. Great work with this. Makes me feel a deep calm and joy in my soul. Thank you for making it.
I'm glad you liked it! I'll be taking a break from this for a short while, I have many plans for the future and hopefully I can get around to doing them :)
This is a great little remastering of an awesome freeware game, and I would say it's pretty faithful to the original ROM check fail, as well offering a few accessibility options like toning down the glitchy effects, which is nice! Well worth a playthrough.

my best score from a few runs was 14490
I'm glad you liked it!

Whee! It’s very cool to see this, and to play with new characters and art and music. Nice work.
EDIT: Also, lol @ 37MB download. I’m sure that’s mostly just the Godot runtime, but wow times have changed since 2008! ROM CHECK FAIL was 2.5MB :)
Lovely to see your seal of approval, lol

Such a nice comment, I truly appreciate it!
Awesome, loved it! I'll have to be a bit more patient when the glitch is incoming since I often end up putting myself in precarious situations, hehe.
The only thing I'd like to suggest for any potential future updates is to have the high score displayed on the title screen...

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope my changes were understandable, lol
Extremely polished. Accurate to original games' controls. Extremely chaotic.
