Invaders is a charming and earnest attempt at a tower defense game, showcasing the potential of a new developer.
The game offers a relaxed time-passing experience and has some interesting mechanics, such as selling turrets for 100% of their purchase price.

As a student project, it feels more like a proof-of-concept than a fully developed game, lacking depth and polish.
