Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed. Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games.  Invaders is an fully accessible audio game, inspired by the video game Space Invaders. The objective is to shoot all of the invaders before they land on your planet. There are several rows of space ships, that move left and right, starting at the top of the playing field, furthest from the home button. The ships move back and forth, heading down towards your planet. You must shoot them, and avoid being shot. The more invaders you shoot, the higher you score. The more times you get shot, the lower your health score. When you shoot all the invaders, you move on to the next level. There are several games of varying difficulty, and varying number of levels. Each level is harder than the prior level. Invaders was suggested by several blind gamers who enjoyed Blindfold Breakout. The game comes with coins; you need one coin to play. More coins are available as an in-app upgrade.
