Space Invaders
Rows of aliens are creeping down toward Earth, and you're the last line. Shoot them down before they land, and stay light on your feet when they shoot back.
How to play Space Invaders
Your cannon rides along the bottom of the screen. Slide it left and right, fire upward, and pick off the marching aliens one by one. Here's the catch: the fewer that are left, the faster the survivors move, so sloppy shots will cost you. Tuck behind the bunkers when the fire gets heavy. And keep half an eye on the top of the screen, because that mystery saucer streaking across is worth bonus points if you can tag it.
Controls
Left / Right arrows to move, Space to shoot.
Tips & tricks
- Take out the lowest aliens first to slow the descent.
- Use the bunkers for cover, but they wear away with every hit.
- Pick off the edge columns so the swarm has less room to advance.
