DEATH TO PRINTERS. You're IBM's finest IT intern, and the office printers have gone rogue. Paper jams were just the warm-up. Armed with nothing but the mighty black inkjet cartridge, you are the last line of defense against an uprising of toner-crazed machines. Printer Invaders is a fast, neon-drenched arcade shoot-'em-up built for one thumb. Drag to fly and your cartridge auto-fires — so you can focus on dodging, weaving, and chaining kills. Outlast wave after wave, climb the weapon tree, and stare down the Photocopier itself. FEATURES - One-thumb controls — drag to fly, auto-fire handles the rest - A branching weapon tree — chain kills to upgrade from inkjet to laser toner and beyond - Combo multipliers that reward fearless, no-flinch play - Power-ups: AirPrint rapid-fire, cloud-printed drone wingmen, and more - Photocopier boss battles every few waves - A retro-futuristic look: synthwave starfields, glowing pixel art, CMYK printouts - Endless escalating waves and a local high score to beat - Plays great offline — no account, no ads, no tracking Pick up the cartridge. Save the office. Death to printers.
