The object of the game is to defeat several consecutive
waves of Space Invaders before they destroy you and
your planet!

GAME SET-UP

Use the Directional Controls to move your cannon
left and right as you avoid projectiles and fire
weaponry of your own. When you have a clear shot at
an Invader, use the Fire Button to shoot at them. Try
to utilize the three bunkers to defend yourself from
swarming Invaders. Be careful, though, these defensive
bunkers are not indestructible and will be destroyed if
they take too much damage! Bunkers can endure five
projectiles from the Invaders before they collapse, so
plan your strategy accordingly!

Although the Invaders start out slowly, the more of
them you destroy the quicker they will come after
you. Destroy all Invaders on the screen to advance to
the next level. Also be aware that each time you reach a
new level, the Invaders get slightly faster and smarter,
making them harder to avoid and outwit. See how far
you can make it!

For each Invader you successfully shoot down you
will receive 20 points. Occasionally a flying saucer will
fly over the Invaders (top of the screen). If you can
manage to shoot it down before it makes it across the
screen, you’ll receive a bonus of either 50 points, 100
points, 150 points, or 300 points!

Be careful while maneuvering your cannon around –
if you get hit three times you lose! Also do not let the
Invaders get too close, even if one Invader manages
to get to the bottom row you will lose the game and
will have to start over. The game will also end if the
allotted time limit runs out.

Try to make it through all ten levels without being
overrun!
