How to play Space Defender
Read the aim of Space Defender, then make your first move. Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Look at what changes after your first action.
Defend your ship through five waves of enemies using the on-screen or keyboard controls.
Build a steady rhythm
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal

A useful example
Move sideways between incoming shots. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Post-hit protection is temporary. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
