Fixed Shooter Invaders
A fixed-shooter arcade text animation: letter-shaped pixel aliens lead a marching formation while a ground cannon picks off the rows. Lockstep steps, bunkers, a mystery saucer and cellophane color bands; for gaming and retro event promos.
Prompt · replace [TEXT]
Tool-agnosticMake [TEXT] the lead row of a fixed-shooter arcade alien formation. Black screen, low-resolution pixel art with a soft phosphor glow and faint scanlines. Each letter of [TEXT] is a chunky pixel alien with two wiggling antenna pixels and little legs that alternate every step; below it march three rows of small original aliens (jellyfish, one-eyed bots, bat-wings). The whole formation moves in lockstep, two pixels per tick with a hard two-frame animation, reversing and dropping a notch at each edge. A ground cannon slides under its targets and fires thin lasers that turn aliens into star-burst explosions; zigzag bombs chip pixel holes in four arch bunkers. Monochrome graphics tinted by horizontal cellophane bands: magenta saucer lane, white letters, cyan aliens, green ground. Score at top, a saucer crosses, then wipe and refill the wave.
