Jan 11, 2018Against all odds, Energy Invasion manages to take its almost too simple Breakout-inspired premise and spin it into something truly original and engaging. Adding the ability to fire off miniature, bouncing balls from the main ball is an ingenious addition that elevates the gameplay from just a mere homage. While there are only 50 stages between Linear and Invasion mode, the difficulty curve allows progress to feel earned, and Endless offers an unlimited amount of levels to bounce through. Along with Nick R 61's fantastic soundtrack, Energy Invasion is a surreal, and strangely addictive, evolution of the Breakout formula.

Jan 8, 2018Energy Invasion does a good job of bringing together two distinct genres into a cohesive game engine but doesn't do enough to keep it interesting beyond the first few screens. After that the game's samey level design and visuals make you feel like you saw everything the game had to offer in the first few minutes but there is definitely the potential here for a more compelling experience if a sequel ever comes.

Jan 19, 2018This game is fine if you have overfocused ADD or took too much of your medicine. Otherwise you'll lose interest fast.
