Show HN: Combining Space Invaders and Classic Literature and ASCII

What do you get when you combine Space Invaders, classic literature, and ascii? Txt Invaders!
I've been obsessing over "fluid text" effect and decided to combine this with two things I love - literature and retro games (in this case Space Invaders).
You play against a backdrop of classic literature excerpts (think Pride and Prejudice). As your ship moves <- / -> and as you fire the lasers at the invading aliens, there is this smooth ripple effect around the characters and words. Defeating the wave of aliens awards you with a beautiful quote from one of the books. You just have to see it for yourselves.
Enjoy!
