From the README

A high-fidelity retro arcade Space Invaders clone built completely from scratch using pure Vanilla JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API. Features zero heavy third-party engine dependencies, modern architectural best practices, and a beautiful premium retro-arcade cabinet cabinet simulation interface.

Defend the galaxy against endless waves of invading alien space fleets! As you clear waves, the aliens descend lower, move faster, and fire projectiles more rapidly. Watch out for Wave 10—where a massive, heavily armored boss UFO descends to challenge your survival!
