How to play Space Defender

Bring your attention to one round of Space Defender. Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. Look at what changes after your first action. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Defend your ship through five waves of enemies using the on-screen or keyboard controls.

A careful first round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Step by step

1. Start and steer.
2. Hold Fire.
3. Avoid enemy projectiles.
4. Clear the final tougher wave to win.

Controls

Pointer/arrow movement and held Fire. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

A useful example

Move sideways between incoming shots. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Post-hit protection is temporary. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
