Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
8-bit arcade mayhem: defend world's famous beaches from invading tourists, boats and party swimmers in a funny way. 20 waves, and tourist-ship bosses.
WATER ROCKETS — Inverted Invaders
Protect your local beach from an endless tide of invaders in this fast, funny, 80s-arcade shooter. You're a swimmer at the top of the screen, and the only thing standing between the shore and the incoming horde is... well, what you're leaving behind in the water. Take aim downstream and let fly.
Blast swimmers, surfers, sailboats, speedboats and beach-bar tourists before they reach the shore. Charge your special meter and unleash a piercing MEGA shot or a RAPID-fire burst. Keep an eye on the purple shooters — they fire back.
FEATURES
- 8 escalating waves, each with its own formation: Pyramid, Diamond Swarm, Flanking Pillars, Zigzag Riptide, The Armada and more.
- Cruise-ship BOSS rounds that unload waves of passengers — complete with an 8-bit battle anthem.
- Fast "sprinter" swimmers that break from the pack and rush the shore.
- Two chaotic PARTY RUSH stages.
- MEGA and RAPID special attacks on a chargeable meter.
- Local high-score table — enter your three initials, arcade style.
- One-thumb joystick controls, built for phones and tablets.
- Crunchy 8-bit visuals and chiptune sound.
Simple to pick up, tough to master. How long can you hold the shore?
