User reviews

Simple Space Invaders is a lightweight, retro-style Chrome extension appreciated for its straightforward and addictive gameplay, making it a great time killer when bored or offline. The minimalist cube-based graphics are a stylistic choice that some users enjoy, though a few find the game too basic. Common issues include awkward controls (using space bar to shoot), lack of sound effects, slow-paced gameplay, and large window size that can be intrusive.
Pros
  • Simple and straightforward gameplay that is easy to understand and play.
  • Addictive and fun to play when bored or to kill time.
  • Lightweight and minimalistic design with simplistic cube-based graphics.
  • Works well as a time waster, even when internet is down.
  • No bugs reported, stable performance.
Cons
  • Controls are unconventional and sometimes confusing (space bar to shoot, arrow keys to move).
  • Gameplay can be slow and boring after a while, lacking depth.
  • Lack of sound effects detracts from the experience.
  • The game opens in a large window, which can be inconvenient in certain settings like classrooms.
