How to play Star Defender
Star Defender is a space-shooting challenge against three alien formations. Move along the launch line, fire upward and avoid enemy shots. Clearing the formations wins, while losing your shields or allowing the formation to reach your ship ends the run.
- Move with Left/Right and fire with Space or the fire button.
- Clear three formations before they reach your ship.
- Enemy shots cost shields. You have three shields and a short firing cooldown.
Tips for your next round
- Aim ahead of a moving target: the formation may move before your shot reaches it.
- Keep some room to dodge on either side of your ship instead of staying pinned against an edge.
Use Left and Right to move and Space or the fire button to shoot. Firing has a short cooldown, so repeated presses do not create an unlimited stream.
