The 60s – retro?

This game is set in the 60s (retro, classic,...) because it was when the humans more looked into sky: space race between USSR & US, the first satellites launched (such as Sputnik & Explorer) and culminating in the arrival of man on the moon on July 21, 1969 (Apollo 11 mission).

It was also the time of the greatest number of UFO sightings.

This game is a top-down shooter designed with the soul of the 60s: story, graphics, spaceships, music, combat, effects,...

Story – arcade way

This shoot’em up game takes place in 9 scenarios that all together form a story in a arcade way: desert, town, port and airport. Scenarios combine the challenge of reaching the end by defeating the maximum number of enemies, with scenarios where the skill is to pass between cliffs without hitting them while dodging bullets and missiles. There has been a special interest in designing the levels with continuity: when you finish one the next starts where you left off.

Cartoon style – Alien force & Earth army

The style of the game escapes hyperrealism to focus on a more comic style: objects, details, colors, sky ... seek to be real but with a more casual, cartoon, more fun style. The aircrafts, the helicopters, the tanks,... and the player aircraft (a flying saucer – alien force) are designed in this cartoon style.

1969 Invasion has the spirit of the retro arcade shooters with modern visuals in amazing immersive scenarios in 3D.

All air enemies have their sound that adjusts according to the proximity to the UFO aircraft.

Enemies – Earth army (sky/air & ground)

There are two types of enemies that need to be defeated: ground army, with all-terrain vehicles, tanks and missile launchers, and air/sky force, with helicopters and jets/fighters.

They are all equipped with the corresponding weapons (different types of machine guns, projectiles/bullets and 3 different types of missiles)

Originality – aliens force from the space

The aliens invasion it’s a common feature in science fiction stories, films & games, in which extraterrestrials invade the Earth either to exterminate the human life, steal planet’s resources,… H.G.Wells’novel “The War of the Worlds” and T.Nishikado’s “Space Invaders” game are two examples in that this classic retro game is inspired by.
