Zed Invaders

Zed Invaders fuses Space Invaders with Fruit Ninja. Invaders descend in classic formations toward a charge bar at the top of the screen; you load the bar by riding a stationary exercise bike, and once it is full you switch to slicing fruit before the invaders break through.

The two halves demand opposite things - grinding the bike is stationary and safe, slicing fruit requires your cursor to move across the whole screen while the invaders close in - and the difficulty comes from being forced to switch at the worst possible moment. The presentation is Italian, with an on-screen keyboard-shortcut legend and a share button. The game code is all in a single HTML file, which makes it an easy read.

How to Play

1. Ride the bike to charge the bar while the invaders descend.
2. When the bar is full, switch to slicing the falling fruit.
3. Do not let the invaders reach the bottom.
4. Survive as many waves as possible.

Controls

• Z or Left / Right - ride the bike
• Mouse - slice fruit
• Space - fire
• M - toggle music

Tips

The bike is the safe phase, so start charging early rather than reacting when the bar is nearly empty. The invaders never stop descending while you slice, so treat slicing as a short burst and go back to the bike the moment the combo ends.
