Space Invaders Arcade
Space Invaders, rebuilt inside Starbound.
This mod adds a playable Space Invaders arcade machine driven by Starbound’s own runtime systems. Invaders, shots, effects, shields, the cannon, and the board presentation are not just a flat mockup: the game is hosted by a live Starbound vehicle and rendered through real in-world entities and projectiles.
Features
– Play a faithful Space Invaders cabinet inside Starbound
– Real Starbound monsters/entities and projectile carriers drive the action
– Source-shaped timing, scoring, rack movement, saucer behavior, shot rules, and collision footprints
– Classic rack speedup, fleet sound cadence, saucer scoring, player death timing, and GAME OVER sequencing
Fidelity
This port prioritizes preserving the original arcade behavior wherever Starbound allows it. The invader rack advances per live invader instead of moving as one simple block, shields are authoritative damage surfaces, alien shot behavior follows the original shot families, and many original timing quirks are intentionally retained.
Spawning
Use the commands:
/admin
/spawnvehicle spaceinvadersmachine
HOLD CTRL to move camera up.
Destroy the machine to remove it.
