Play Space Invaders: The Original Game (Japan edition · Japanese) Online

The familiar formation advances across the screen and drops closer with each change of direction. You move a cannon along the bottom, fire through the ranks, and use the shelters while they still offer protection. Clearing one side of the formation changes the space available, while faster remaining enemies make the final shots more demanding. Alongside its recreation of the arcade game, this edition offers competitive variants that change the setting and scoring context. Begin with the classic mode to learn the movement rhythm, and avoid staying directly beneath a falling shot simply to finish an almost-cleared column.
