Nice demo. Reminds me of a well done Galaxians clone for Atari 400/800 that used programmable character set animation for the aliens. It was impressive.

Fun fact: The Commodore VIC-20 lacked hardware sprites, so programming the character set was how you did any animation on it. There were still some pretty amazing games given that limitation.
