Space Invaders Infinity Gene stands alongside Pac-Man Championship
Edition DX, and Galaga Legions DX, as one of the best modern
re-imaginings of a classic arcade title. All of those games share a
certain subtle rhythm that sneaks into your brain. It looks like the
next game from Infinity Gene's creator may not be a subtle with the
rhythm. It's called Groove Coaster, and all we know is it's promised to
be "an exhilarating next-gen groove game", and that Taito is promoting
it with an image of a space invader wearing headphones.
I really hope the game does for Space Invaders what Bit.Trip BEAT and
FLUX did for Pong. The blending of simple, skills-based gameplay with a
focus on rhythm rarely fails to enthrall. I'm guessing that like
Infinity Gene, the game will hit the iOS first, and come to PSN and XBLA
sometime after. Stay tuned to Destructoid for more as it comes in.
