About Space Defender

It is a straight shooting game where the waves never run out, so what matters is how long you can hold on.

The alien ships fire back, and every enemy bullet that hits you costs health. Power-ups show up during the fight, and grabbing them can restore your health, strengthen your shields or improve your weapons.

Each wave you survive raises your score. Getting through waves is also how you unlock higher levels, which gives this arcade shooter its sense of progress.

Key features

  • You fly a single space fighter, much like in an airplane shooter.
  • Alien invaders attack in endless waves.
  • Power-ups boost your health, shields or weapons.
  • Surviving waves raises your score and unlocks higher levels.
  • You can play with the keyboard on a computer or with touch on a phone or tablet.

Tips & tricks

  • Keep moving so enemy bullets have a harder time hitting you, because every hit drains your health.
  • When your health gets low, go after power-ups, since some of them heal you.

Frequently asked questions
