About Evil Invader
It is a top-down arcade shooter where your soldier stays on the left edge of the screen and moves only up and down.
You have three lives, and every monster that reaches you takes one away. Your score is simply the number of monsters you kill, which comes to roughly one per second.

Most attackers are gray crawling creatures that look like zombies, and every so often a green lizard shows up among them. They all come in from the right side. The longer a run lasts, the more of them arrive at the same time, so the road fills up quickly.
Clearing waves of enemies moves you forward, and you can pick up power-ups for extra perks along the way. Leveling up unlocks new guns, so a longer run also means stronger firepower.
The whole fight takes place on a brown dirt path cutting through the jungle, with green plants along the top and bottom of the screen. My own games ended at 22, 36 and 22 points, and each one lasted about 35 to 40 seconds.
Quick summary
- You hold the left side of a jungle road with three lives.
