A modern twist on the retro classic Space Invaders, built in Phaser Editor.

Mission InQuackAble is a retro-inspired arcade shooter that reimagines Space Invaders with a playful, duck themed twist. Defend your base against waves of invading ducks, collect coins, and upgrade your weapons to survive the cosmic chaos.

Developed in Phaser Editor during HackNC 2025, the game blends nostalgic pixel aesthetics with modern gameplay mechanics.

• Space Invaders-style gameplay: Shoot incoming enemies before they reach you.
• Currency system: Earn coins for each enemy defeated.
• Shop system: Upgrade weapons, fire rate, and abilities between rounds.
• Level system: With each level cleared, enemies increase in health and movement speed.
• Keyboard controls: A/D - Move
