User guide
When the signal reached Earth, a signal from what seemed to be intelligent life, many UFO enthusiasts were overwhelmed by happiness. This was the moment some people had waited for in their whole life, the proof that would show us that we are not alone in this universe!
However, the happiness lasted not very long. As soon as the alien fleet reached earth they opened fire without warning or explanation. This action took us by surprise and laid most of our defenses to waste. There are only a few ships left to defend Earth against the huge alien attack fleet.
Are you ready to fight for the survival of planet Earth?
Gameplay
The goal is simple: just destroy as many of the alien invaders to gain high scores.
There are some bonuses to collect by shooting down alien UFO's giving you more firepower to kill the invaders more easily.
