A practical guide to Space Defender

Make Space Defender your next activity in the game library. 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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

An idea for your next attempt

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you are aiming for

Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

A closer look at one example

Move sideways between incoming shots. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.

A mistake to avoid

Post-hit protection is temporary. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
