Space Invaders — About this game
Move a laser cannon beneath descending alien ranks and clear each wave before the invaders reach the ground. The cannon only travels left and right, so survival depends on choosing a firing lane while reading falling shots. Barriers offer temporary cover but crumble under fire. Watch the remaining gaps as the formation approaches, then change position deliberately instead of hiding under a shelter that has already been worn away.
