Physics Invader, from Yoshio Ishii’s excellent nekogames site (home of Cursor*10 and the Hoshi Saga games), adds simulated physics to Space Invaders. Bullets fall back down when they miss, and destroyed Invaders litter the ground. It kind of reminds me of Retro Sabotage, but without the political metaphors.

The increased speed of your shots makes Physics Invader much easier than the original, but it’s worth playing just for the experience of sweeping a pile of dead alien invaders off the side of the stage.
