Cosmic Gossip 🛸💬

Cosmic Gossip is a twist on the classic Space Invaders. Instead of just mindlessly attacking, these aliens have lives, opinions, and a lot to say!

Powered by the Google Gemini API, they banter about everything from intergalactic rent prices to today's weirdest Earth news. Watch them gossip, argue, and even beg for mercy as you blast them away.
