This is definitely old skool!! It reminds me when I was a kid playing it on my Atari! Well, this is slightly modified to become more challenging and blending in to our era.
Like most space invaders, you are the protector of the universe with your spaceship warding off evil aliens. Aliens come in batches and if one batch is wipe out, out come another batch. After wiping out the normal aliens, you’ll encounter the boss of the area before moving to the next stage. While destroying invading aliens, you will notice UFO in various colors passing by. Destroy them to obtain bonuses such as extra life, fever mode, bonus points and etc…
When you destroy 5 or more aliens of the same species (same color), you will receive the weapon bonus of the same species. Blue aliens drops blue laser beam, Red aliens drops red bombs while green aliens’ weapons are multi bullets. While you keep killing aliens, you will be chaining ‘em and you will receive extra points. There is a time period in between each chain before it breaks.
Fever mode is when you are given special mission. Complete it and you’ll enter into fever mode. During fever mode, you will have unlimited special weapon till the fever mode is out. This is the best time to clear most of the aliens before encountering the boss. Fever mode will also determine your grade after completing each stage. Without fever mode, you’ll receive minimal points only and a lousy grading. After completing the Arcade mode, you’ll unlock the extreme mode.
Nonstop action from the start. Although it looks childish, once you play it you’ll get hooked to it. It is easy to play and the excitement will keep you going on and on. The only set back to the game is that the background may confuse and make you dizzy. It’s supposed to be in space anyway so I guess they made it that way purposely! Aliens busting anyone?

Dunno why but I’m into casual games recently maybe due to the lack of time. This is a fun game but it’s kinda hard to play if you have large hands like me with a tiny analog. This game has been around for some time and it was taken of a PC game if I’m not wrong.
In story mode, there are 6 levels (Stages). Each level has 5 rounds where every 5th round is the level’s boss. You only have a cute little spacecraft that shoots normal bullets. Bullets are available when there are a set of planes orange in color come dashing across the screen. Kill ‘em all in order to get your special bullets.
The stars represent the special bullets. Yellow star shoots straight with 2 x 45 degrees diagonal shot. Blue star is super fast bullets (I prefer this most of the time). Green star shoots out a curve shape like a Big C that can fend of bullets. Red Star shoots out rockets but it is extremely slow in my opinion but useful against bosses. There is also a Turquoise star which is an electric beam (as shown in the picture above) which is only available on the last level.
Sometimes in the game, you will encounter balloons with little packages tied to them. Try not to burst the balloons but shoot the packages. You will receive some special bonuses like 2 times multiplier (scores) or the mini space ship that are attached to you which shoots out more bullets.
If I’m not mistaken, you will receive a free spaceship (kinda like 1UP) for every 20, 000 points you get. You’ll definitely receive a credit (chance to continue the game) after completing each level. It has an auto save feature where it auto saves for you after achieving new milestones.
The bullets and enemies come from all angles! There are even stones that rain from sky in Level 5-2 which frustrates me a lot. After completing the story mode, you can try survival mode. Try to survive as long as you can without exploding if haven’t had enough of the game! Give it a try, its fun and exciting.
