Space Invaders Arcade tank defense in the browser

How to play

Desktop and mobile controls.

Same arcade loop on every device - the drive and fire inputs change with your pointer.

Desktop

Accel and brake with the arrows or A/D. Fire with Space - hold for continuous beams when a laser charge is active. Mute with M.

  • ← → / A D Drive - both directions together brake and fire
  • Space Fire (hold for laser while charged)
  • M Mute or unmute procedural SFX
  • Esc Return to menu from a match or top lists

Mobile

Choose Pedals or Tilt + pad on the menu. Pedals use on-screen arrows; tilt leans the device to drive with a fire / brake pad.

  • Pedals Hold ◀ ▶ to drive; both = brake + fire; double-tap to shoot
  • Tilt + pad Lean to drive; tap FIRE / hold BRAKE
  • Pickups Drive into falling power-ups before they despawn
  • Home Screen Add to Home Screen for fullscreen arcade launch

Match flow

Waves, bunkers, and bombs.

Formation

Side-step and drop

Ranks march faster as invaders thin. Each wave drops one step and fires more often.

Cover

Bunkers erode

Four protection bunkers chip away block-by-block when hit by either side.

Threat

Master ship bombs

Shoot the bombs mid-air for big points - missed bombs leave jagged craters that slow the tank.

Ready for wave one.

Start on Olive Patrol, learn the pedals or keyboard, then chase a personal best on the world board.
