Space Invaders is a classic arcade-style shooter for PlayStation where players navigate a laser cannon at the screen's bottom, targeting waves of descending aliens. The objective is to eliminate rows of aliens that move laterally while descending towards the player. Points are awarded for each alien destroyed, with increasing speed and intensity as more foes are defeated.
Space Invaders is a game in which the player controls a laser cannon by moving it horizontally across the bottom of the screen and firing at descending aliens.
The aim is to defeat five rows of eleven aliens—some versions feature different numbers—that move horizontally back and forth across the screen as they advance towards the bottom of the screen. The player defeats an alien, and earns points, by shooting it with the laser cannon. As more aliens are defeated, the aliens' movement and the game's music both speed up.
