What is Beat Invaders?

A single-player vertical shoot 'em up about escorting freighters through space to complete a delivery. You shoot enemy waves, defend the convoy, and face bosses and special events during each run. You choose upgrades along the way, then spend earned points on permanent ship improvements between runs.

+you like combining ship upgrades into different builds
+you want arcade action suited to short sessions

Not for you if...

−you dislike dodging dense waves of enemy fire
