1bit Invaders is a 2D space shooter with destructible walls and pixelated monochrome black and white graphics. You use the Wiimote to aim, the b button to shoot and the nunchuck analog stick to move. Shoot the round things that move towards you to survive and gain points. The wiimote vibrates when your being hurt. There is a lot left to be added and reworked but its functional at this point.

To Do

Lots. Add scrolling (the game is currently limited to a one screen environment). Improve your collisions with the walls. Better collision detection with enemies. Make the surrounding parts of walls destroyed in the impact rather then just the exact part you shoot. Make energy do something or remove it. Redo the HUD/GUI. Add co-op and competitive multiplayer (possibly online). Add scoreboards (also possible online). Add some kind of perk/leveling or pickups system. I'm thinking of making both your ship and the opposing ones smaller which would then make the the area you can move around in larger by comparison.
