Invader's Game - Space Invaders Game 🚀

This repository contains a space invaders game I created as a fun side project and portfolio piece. The game is built with TypeScript, CSS, and HTML, and uses the PIXI.js framework for displaying graphics. The aesthetic is reminiscent of a 1980's handheld video game with Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) technology.

Check out a live demo of the game on my website: justin-lloyd.com. Scroll to the bottom and look to the right to find the game.
