![]() ![]() There are eight worlds on Normal Difficulty, ten on Expert and the unlockable Maniacal. Yellow ~ Diagonal Split Missile, flies upwards until hitting an alien where it will split into two diagonal projectiles at 45 and -45 degrees to blow a V shape through the alien wave Green ~ Horizontal Right Missile, same as H. Useful for wiping columns.īlue ~ Horizontal Left Missile, flies upwards until hitting an alien where it will make a sharp 90 degree turn left and wipe out a row. Red ~ Super Missile, flies in a straight path upwards and cuts through multiple enemies. There are four basic alien types, and with them four recurring specials: When destroyed, they will drop one of four possible Power-Ups: Double-Shot, Tank Shield, Time Stop, and Special Attack.Ī Special Attack is a powerful one-shot granted by killing four of the same kind of aliens in a row, but be careful not to go off streak as this will reset the counter. This little trick can be used to catch the last alien in a wave.Īnother wonderful addition this game made was expanding the incentive to shoot down the mother ships that pass above the alien waves from time to time. The max distance is about half way, or depending on how much health the shield had before. Rather than these shields being static objects, however, any time a player shoots them, they lose health but also slowly inch up the screen. Unlike the original 1978 game, the guards don't crumble with each hit but instead have a set amount of hit points shown visually by the shield growing darker the closer it gets to being destroyed. The aliens get faster the less there are on screen, When only one is left, it madly dash from left to right all the while going on a mad bombing run.įirst off to discuss is the way the shields work. You move left and right, shoot at aliens and dodge the bombs they drop, however it doesn't stop there. The gameplay and controls are more or less what one would expect from the grandfather of the shoot-em-up genre. ![]() Space Invaders, colloquially known as Space Invaders '99 or by it's Japanese title Space Invaders X, blends together many components to create an indelible experience that can be replayed over and over. ![]()
