* the aliens move differently than the original Space Invaders,
and there is something different on every wave.
* There are 16 waves, each with their own names and themes.
This means that it is possible to *win* the game!
* You now have a blue shield that you can't destroy but the aliens can. it is restored each wave.
* you also have a red bar at the bottom of the screen, representing your planet.
if this bar is ever reduced below 5%, the game will end.
the planet repairs a little after each wave.
* extra life awarded every 4000 points.
* you can fire up to 9 shots at once, depending on wave and game speed.
* your movement wraps around side to side on odd numbered waves,
and you are blocked on even levels (just like the invaders).
* The game is harder now. The early levels are still easy, but it gets frantic later on.
* New beautiful background inspired by some code from Jammy,
another competitor in the space invaders compo.
* There is now an option to turn on "Power-Ups", using a config file.
It's a text file, where the first line either says 'power ups on' or 'power ups off'.
The default option is OFF.
To get a power up, finish a wave without losing a laser cannon.
There are 2 power-ups available.
