[Press Release] Space Smilies, retro-style shoot’em up game for Android

 Dear Retro-Nostalgic,

Retro games fascinated me since childhood (still do) and that, combined with passion for coding, drove me to create a mobile game inspired by the classic Space Invaders: "Space Smilies". This game is pure retro-style, with a similar gameplay as the classic version but more fun as you will have to fight against various smiley faces and you get to edit the levels.

In "Space Smilies" you have to destroy the hordes of advancing smilies (and various other shapes) by shooting everything that moves. An old-school shmup (i.e. shoot’em up) game that gives you a better feeling playing on a phone/tablet than you’d have by playing the classic version on an emulator. Just as the classic version, the invading ships drop bullets and destroy you, from time to time an UFO "comes by" to drop some bombs right on you and finally there’s also kamikaze ships that sacrifice while trying to destroy you.

Here are the features that you will enjoy in "Space Smilies":

+ A humorous approach to the classic Space Invaders, as there are several types of attacking waves each looking funnier than the other

+ Easy controls, you move your ship with your finger while the gun fires automatically at the enemy

+ Level editor that allows you to modify the basic settings such as number of rows/columns, start/end speed, shot and saucer appearance probability and so on

+ Global leaderboard to share and compare your scores

+ Original soundtrack and funny sound effects to make the gameplay more humorous

The game is available for free on Google Play.
