History

Bass Invaders is the first game by James Goldsmith and is a mostly solo project, with significant contributions by Harry Bentley (art/design) and Sergio Ronchetti (music/sound).

It was born from a love of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, of endless hours spent with friends swapping CDs into Vib Ribbon, and the polarity-switching mechanics of shmup classic Ikaruga.
