How to play
- Move your ship with the arrow keys or by dragging with the mouse or your finger.
- Fire with Space or tap — hold to keep shooting.
- Destroy every alien in the wave before they reach the bottom.
- Dodge enemy fire. Lose all your lives and the game is over; clear a wave to face a faster one.
Strategy & tips
- Pick off the edges of the formation first to give yourself more room to dodge.
- Keep moving — a stationary ship is an easy target for enemy fire.
- Prioritise enemies that have dropped lowest; they threaten to end the game.
- Fire in bursts aimed at columns rather than spraying randomly.
- Learn the formation’s side-to-side rhythm so you can time your shots and retreats.
