About this game

They will attack - You must defend!


Parasite Attack 1984
, your city is under siege by grotesque parasites descending from the sky, and only you—armed with a mighty artillery cannon (and your keyboard!)—can protect it.

This isn’t your average frenzied retro shoot-em-up. It’s a chilled, strategic defence game where a bit of thinking and a well-placed blast can make all the difference.

You’ll need to be sharp if you want to last long enough to brag about your high score. How long can you protect the city? Probably longer than it took to survive dial-up Internet.

Grab your keyboard, aim carefully, and get ready to defend a city that looks like it would’ve been a massive hit in 1984. The parasites may be terrifying, but hey, at least the 2D pixels graphics are relaxing.

Features:

  • Chilled but Strategic Gameplay – Take a breath and aim carefully… It’s a defense game that lets you think before you fire. Who knew saving a city from giant bugs could be this relaxing?

  • Keyboard-Controlled Artillery – Forget joysticks—it's all about typing coordinates like a tactical mastermind. And yes, that means the fate of the city rests on your typing skills.

  • Unique Parasites – Each more monstrous and inconvenient than the last. You’ll quickly learn which ones you hate the most. (Hint: it's all of them.)

  • Power-Ups Galore – Because sometimes even the best artillery needs a little help, especially when you’re up against bugs the size of small cars.

  • Endless Mode – You versus an unending wave of parasites. How long can you keep blasting before your fingers—or sanity—give out?

  • End Game Stats & Highscores – Share your stats, gloat about your scores, and prove once and for all that you’re better at protecting a pixelated city than your friends.

  • 2D Pixel Graphics in 16-Color Glory – A feast for the eyes, if the year is 1984. It's retro, it's blocky, and it’s absolutely beautiful.

  • Optional CRT TV Aesthetics – For the full 1984 experience, toggle that CRT mode and pretend you're back in the good ol’ days when everything on TV had scanlines.
