Counter Invaders

The alien onslaught has begun ! You are playing two best friends who want to exterminate all the invaders. But you only have one Mech! With one pilot and one gunner, you’ll have to work together to clear the city and survive…

Counter Invaders is a cooperative, two player shoot'em all game, which aims to bring back the classic gameplay of the 80's arcades, while adding a touch of modernity through its extration shooter mechanics and crisp pixelart.

== THE GAME ==

One Pilots...

Move the Mech around, use your abilities wisely. Be mindful of where you go, as strolling into the wrong place at the wrong time can have... deadly consequences.

One Shoots...

With your two laser miniguns and pulse generator, you extract direct revenge on the foul invaders.  Precision. Priorization. Extermination.

Both Cooperate.

Plan your next moves, identify priority targets, unleash your most powerful ability. Only good cooperation will get you through this ordeal, and  a mishap in your teamwork is all the aliens need to terminate both of you.

== CONTROLS ==

*Local coop game, two controllers required*
