 How to Play Space Invaders  

The ships of the space invaders, aligned in rows, are moving leftwards/rightwards across the screen. Each time the enemies come to the end of the window all rows get one step closer to your position.  

Your aim is to fire at the invaders until you destroy them. At the bottom of the screen there are several groups of asteroids that protects you from the invaders' fire. Each time you or your enemy hit an asteroid it gets "broken". When the asteroid is hit at the same place for the second time, it becomes cracked and you gets more vulnerable.

At the start of each game you have three lives. Be aware of the fact that there are three types of enemy ships:

They make two shots at a time. If you hit them, they turn into opponents of the second type.

They make one quick shot. If you hit them, they turn into opponents of the third type.

They make one ordinary shot. If you hit them, you destroy them

A flying object called "bonus ship" passes the upper part of the game board during certain periods of time. If you hit it, you can get a bonus. There are 5 kinds of bonuses:

   - decreases the moving speed of the opponents for a certain time; 

   - increases the moving speed of the player; 

   - you can shoot down more than one opponent with one shot; 

   - builds a defense wall around the player; 

   - gives you a bonus life

 

 Controls  

Use the left/right arrows buttons to move the ship controlled by you leftwards/rightwards. Fire at the enemy ships by pressing the up-arrow button on your device.

 Game Settings  

The Menu of the game consists of the following options/screens - New Game/Resume, Options, Help, Score, About and Exit. If you access the Options settings you will be able to activate/deactivate the sound  as well as to choose the level of difficulty.

 Tips  
  • Try to destroy the side enemy ships - thus you increase the course they have to pass before reaching your position.
  • Try to fire at the ships so as not to leave "gaps" in their rows - thus will help you hit them more accurately.
  • In order to hit a ship, try to ward off its movement.
  • Use the bonuses dropped by the flying object more often - especially in the upper levels of the game.
 Hidden Features  

When you hit a bonus you may change its type by firing at it. Thus you are able to choose this bonus that best suits you.
