A useful comparison

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.

Your goal

Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

  1. Start and steer.
  2. Hold Fire.

Controls

Pointer/arrow movement and held Fire. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

Move sideways between incoming shots. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Post-hit protection is temporary. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
