A downloadable game for Windows

Developed using pygame, defend yourself from invaders! Upgrade your ship after each level. Choose how many enemies you want to face per level with more risk giving a bigger cash reward!!

To play use arrow keys to move left and right and spacebar to shoot. (This works with controller but mouse is needed to press the buttons - only tested with an Xbox controller)

press 'q' to quit.

This is a modified version of Alien Invasion from "Python Crash Course- A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming" by Eric Matthes

This was created mainly as a learning project and the python is a little rusty. I love chipping away at stuff so if anyone has any ideas, I'll happily give it a bash. I have some plans on updating it but it'll never be a polished finished project.
