How to Play Space Invaders
Earth is under attack! Commandeer your laser cannon at the bottom of the screen and destroy the incoming alien armada before they drop down and conquer the surface.
- Aim & Move: Move left and right to dodge enemy laser bombardment and line up your shots.
- Shoot: Hit the Spacebar or use the Fire button to fire your defense cannon.
- Defend: Hide behind your tactical bunker defenses. Note: bunkers crumble under sustained weapon fire!
- Alien Fleet: Every time you clear a wave, the aliens will speed up on their next attack loop.

Strategic Bunkers
Use your green shield bunkers selectively. Peek out from behind cover to shoot, then retreat under the shield when you see hostile alien fire landing near your position.
