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.
