April game – Pastel Invaders
August 11, 2025 · 1 min read
As part of my Game Dev 2025 series, see I will build one game per month in 2025.
I planned to ship an April game as part of my monthly challenge — I'm severely delayed (it's August now!), but here's the April release: Pastel Invaders.
You can play it here: Play Pastel Invaders
About the game
Pastel Invaders is my take on the classic Space Invaders game, but with a modern, pastel-colored aesthetic.
Technical details
This game is built with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I created it quickly using the Cursor "vibe-code" workflow.
Try it and see if you can beat the high score: Play Pastel Invaders
