I built CovidInvaders.com in honor of the vaccine (and my 16th birthday)

Hey devs :)
In celebration of the recent announcements of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, I decided to build my first game, CovidInvaders!

I built CovidInvaders with vanilla javascript (along with some Jquery), as well as some handy game-engine inspiration I found on GitHub.

I thought this would be a fun project to help people celebrate the coronavirus vaccine and help take some stress off.

Feel free to give me any tips or suggestions I could use to improve the game! I've noticed that it stutters on older browsers and devices, so I'm hoping some Javascript expert here can help ;)
