I don't know why people insist on remaking games. It's not so bad sometimes when the remake is good, or the original is obscure. However, people tend to stick to Space Invaders and Tetris remakes. This is the former.

The strange thing, however, is it's not very good. I don't mean the game, I mean its resemblance to Space Invaders. It's extremely tentative at best. What you've got is aliens coming down, you going left-right and firing up. That's it. What you don't have are shields, organised, different invaders, motherships for bonus points... its not exactly the same at all.

In fact, the differences are quite huge. So much that it really shouldn't be called a remake at all. More of an abduction of core gameplay ideas, wrapped in mediocre graphics and served up as something new. But 'new' it is not.
