Description

Space Invaders is a pioneering arcade shooter released in 1978, challenging players to protect Earth by blasting descending alien formations with a laser cannon. The simple yet addictive gameplay rewards precision and timing as the alien speed increases with each wave. Now available on iOS, this timeless classic brings retro pixel graphics and high‑score competition to modern handheld devices, preserving the original feel while offering touch‑screen controls for on‑the‑go play.

Space Invaders Extreme 2 delivers fast‑paced, action‑packed gameplay that builds on the classic formula with new head‑to‑head battle modes and a challenging time‑attack mode. Players experience an expanded progression system that pushes beyond Fever Time into the exhilarating Super Fever Time, keeping the experience fresh and intense.
