Space Defender: from controls to your first round

Start Space Defender by looking at the playing area and its controls. Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

A small practice goal

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.

What the game asks you to do

Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

The playing sequence

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

How to use the controls

Pointer/arrow movement and held Fire. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

A useful example

Move sideways between incoming shots. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.

One detail worth checking

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.
