The game's main enemy the Invaders, named after their space-invading cousins, come in millions of different shapes, but are all based on the same mechanism. An algorithm randomly fills half of the image, making up the invader, with dots that can be either colored or black. The resulting white noise is mirrored to create the Invader.
Finally the combination of random shapes and the human affinity for symmetry then lets the Invaders peculiar shapes come to life.
"Graphical intrigue and endless euphoria [...]
This isn't just some free puzzle game you get from Apple.com, or an underdeveloped shoot em' up game you happen to download on some sketchy site [...] This is Invaders: Corruption and it's beautiful in addition to being free."
"It's possible that you'll [...] think 'meh, another average-looking arena shooter' and not bother giving Invaders: Corruption a download. This would be a terrible mistake on your part, as Invaders is in fact far from your average shooter."
