"Priced at $3.99, Voxeliens is a fun game to play despite some minor issues that detract from its heritage. Of course you’re going to find things wrong with it when comparing it to the golden oldies, but as a stand-alone title, it provides a good few hours of entertainment."
Space Invaders with voxel graphics. What's not to like?
Voxeliens is a retro-style arcade shooter, in which you defend your planet from waves of descending enemies. The gameplay is simple and fast paced as you battle your way through different environments using a variety of powerups. If you ever played a certain classic video game from 1978 then you will feel right at home with the mechanics ;-)
The game is expected to be PC only -- we will initially be targeting Windows but hope to bring it to Linux and possibly MacOS as well. It will be available for direct purchase through our website, and over time we hope to get it on to some indie game distribution services too. An exact release date has not yet been decided but it will be early 2012.

Voxeliens takes the classic action of Space Invaders and reinvigorates it as a retro style shooter with a modern look."
