20 Games Challenge: Space Invaders

This is my version of Space Invaders, created as part of the 20 Games Challenge — a project designed to sharpen game development skills through rapid prototyping and iteration.

This game represents Game #3 in the challenge.

The goal was to build a simple, playable take on the arcade classic, focusing on:

• Fast prototyping in the Godot Engine
• Grid-based alien movement and behavior
• Basic shooting mechanics and collision

This is not a full remake — it's a structured exercise aimed at exploring enemy wave logic, and basic screen-space constraints.

Controls

• Player: Left/Right Arrows – Move
• Space – Shoot

Development Notes

This project was built in Godot 4 using GDScript. It features:

• Alien group movement with step-shift logic
• Basic player/enemy collision and hit detection

About the 20 Games Challenge

The 20 Games Challenge is about building 20 small games, each in a short time frame, to learn by doing. No scope creep. No perfectionism. Just practice, iteration, and momentum.

Each game is:

• Simple
• Complete
• A stepping stone toward larger projects

Feedback & Follow-up

This project is another practice milestone, not a final product. Feedback is always welcome. If you’re working on the challenge too — let’s connect.

Thanks for playing.
