Invasion

Invasion is a fast-paced arcade experience where players defend a rural environment from an alien attack.

Combining reactive gameplay with escalating pressure, the game challenges players to protect their farm animals against waves of invaders. Quick decision-making and efficient movement are key to survival.

Designed as an accessible and energetic experience, Invasion delivers immediate action with a playful tone.

Invasion is a fast-paced 2D action-platformer developed by Bad Weather Studios that throws you right into the heart of an alien attack on your humble farm. Designed originally for Video Games Lab: Game Jam 2021, this jam-born experiment turns simple ideas into fun gameplay with big personality and unmistakable charm.

You play as a determined farmer whose peaceful life gets blown apart when bizarre invaders from beyond show up with one goal: snatch your adorable farm animals and wreck your day. Armed with nothing but your quick reflexes and trusty jump-and-attack moves, you must defend your farm as long as possible against wave after wave of extraterrestrial threats.

What makes Invasion tick is its loop of escalating challenge and immediate stakes — the longer you survive, the tighter things get. The visuals lean into handcrafted charm, complete with cute pigs and quirky enemy designs that make up the chaos you’ll fight through.

Controls are intuitive whether you’re on keyboard or gamepad, keeping the focus squarely on responsive movement and hitting your targets with precision. With short sessions built for quick bursts of fun and a “name your own price” model for downloads, it’s a perfect pick for players looking to squeeze a lively indie arcade experience into any part of their day.
