Alien Invasion
Game Instructions
Earth is under attack by a hostile alien invasion force of unknown
size and origin! The object of Alien Invasion is to destroy as
many waves of attacking alien invaders as possible. To help you
in your task, your ship has been equiped with an array of weapons
and counter-measures (described below). Increase the effectiveness
of your ship's weapons, and your ammunition supplies by collecting
the powerups which appear after each destroyed alien attack wave.

bomb is in flight, press the 'd' key once again to detonate
it. Once detonated, the bomb will create an expanding shockwave

Shields
|
<up>
|
Your shields will reamin activated as long
as you hold down the 'up' (arrow) key. While the shields
are active, you will not be harmed by alien weapons. However,
you will not be able to fire your own weapons while your
shields are activated. Additionally, you have a limited
amount of shield energy (as indicated by a bar at the bottom
of the screen), and once your shield energy is used up,
you will not be able to activate your shields until you
collect more shield energy power-ups.

Teleport
|
<down>
|
By pressing the 'down' (arrow) key, you can teleport your
ship instantly to the other side of the screen. Use this feature
to quickly escape bombardments by alien weaponry, or to collect
power-ups on the other side of the screen. The teleportation
device also has the beneficial side effect of confusing alien
missiles which are already in flight, making them unable to
home in on you. |
Power Ups
After you destroy each wave of aliens, a power-up will become
available. They will appear at the location of the last destroyed
alien, and fall down for you to collect. By collecting these power-ups,
you can upgrade your weapons (making them more powerful as described
above), or increase your ammunition supplies. Try not to miss
them!
