How to play

Defend a planetary shield by moving along the lower lane and firing upward at descending geometric drones. This original single-player Space Defender includes three wave sizes, keyboard, pointer, and touch controls, automatic enemy movement and return fire, three shield points, score and accuracy tracking, pause support, fullscreen play, and instant restart. Choose a defense intensity, make your move, and use Restart whenever you want a fresh game.

Strategy tips

  • Align beneath a drone lane before firing so each energy bolt has a clear path through the formation.
  • Keep moving after a shot because drones return fire and descend whenever the formation reaches a side edge.
  • Use arrows or A/D to move, Space to fire, P to pause, or use the large touch buttons and tap-to-fire playfield.
