Wow, huge saucer and laser base!
Good going with using the Vectrexians overlay in order to give the saucer color and all.
How many levels does it have so far?

Hi, thanks for posting. 16 levels at the moment (loops and speeds up). Reached level 10, score only 1050 though because I kept missing the saucers at the top! |

You can't always get a shot at them!
Like the rotating doors on them, that's a nice touch!
This is also a bit deceptive, looking simple, but then you figure out you're going about a level the wrong way, then blammo, it's over before you can reach the one invader you were supposed to shoot, but then they invaded you!

Good job with the sound too. Unless someone has a VecVoice, VecVox or AtariVox+, you can only get game sounds for the most part, not sound and music. However, here the music is foremost, as I take it you're able to squeeze in the sounds without making the music sound choppy? Because for an old game like Thexder for the PC, it boasted of having a lot of music, but once you started shooting and all it would be interrupted, which got annoying.

Thanks very much. Ingame music is 2 channel with the 3rd channel used for sfx. Title screen music uses 3 channels.

So what is "Nagoya" anyway? Japanese for "invader"?

Ha ha ha ha. Thanks for the screenshot VectorX.
I can definitely afford the 7K ROM download though. So I will test this game out myself a bit later.

The 'Nagoya Attack'/'Death Row'/'Nagoya Technique' in Space Invaders is when you allow the invaders to reach the last row (where they do not shoot back) so you can clear the level safely with timed shots.
