To start the game press any key on your keyboard. Then use the arrow keys to navigate through your journey.

At first you don’t have a weapon so make sure you grab it before trying to deal with the aliens.

Then avoid the enemy shooting at you and press the spacebar to shoot back.

As you navigate through the game, you’ll experience different levels with new challenges in the Atari 2600 way.

It included shields for extra protection against enemy fire.
