About Space Invaders
Space Invaders is the all-time arcade classic, playable right in your browser. Rows of aliens march left and right, dropping closer with every pass and firing back at you. Slide your ship along the bottom, dodge the incoming bombs and blast every alien before they reach you. Clear the whole wave and a faster, more aggressive one takes its place. You get a handful of lives and your best score is saved locally. No signup, no download, nothing uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Move your ship left and right along the bottom with the arrow keys or the on-screen buttons, and press Space (or tap Fire) to shoot. Destroy the aliens before they march down to your row.
Clear every alien in the current wave. When the last one is destroyed, a new wave spawns that moves and fires faster, and the wave counter ticks up.
Each alien is worth points, with the aliens in the back rows worth more than the ones in front, so picking off the top rows boosts your score faster.
You lose a life when an alien bomb hits your ship. Lose all your lives — or let the aliens reach the bottom — and the game is over.
