Lunar Invaders
Game Instructions
Earth is (once again) under attack! The invading aliens are attempting
to capture the moon, in order to stage an assault on our planet.
If the aliens succeed in landing, the earth will be doomed! You
must prevent this at all costs.
Manouver you lunar defender using the [Left] and [Right] arrows
keys. Press [Space Bar] to fire your current weapon. Be sure to
destroy alien saucer command ships (which travel accross the top
of the screen), as they will drop power-ups to increase your firepower
(power-ups are described below). Your game is over if any aliens
land on the lunar surface or if all of your lunar defenders are
destroyed.
Power-ups
Power-Up |
Description |
Rapid Fire |
Increases the rate of fire of your lunar defender's
main weapon |
Ultra Rapid Fire |
Same as above, with even higher rate of fire |
Rail Gun |
Very powerful beam weapon that destroys anything
in it's path. With careful aim, the rail gun can be used to
destroy multiple aliens with a single shot. |
Lightning Gun |
This gun discharges a powerful bolt of electricity
which , like the rail gun, will destroy anything it's path.
Also like the rail gun, this weapon can be used to destroy
multiple targets with a single shot. Unlike the rail gun however,this
weapon will not damage your shield array, and so can be fired
with relative safety from behind them. |
Ultra Lightning Gun |
Same as above, with 3 bolts of electricity.
One of the most powerful weapons in the game. |
3 Stage Rockets |
These rockets will split into 3 smaller rockets
once they reach a certain altitude, ideal for taking out multiple
targets. |
5 Stage Rockets |
Same as above, however these will split into
5 rockets. |
Sideswipers |
These rockets will travel up to a certain altitude,
and then automatically detonate and launch 8 additional rockets
which fly out horizontally accross the screen destroying whatever
targets they intercept (including your shields). |
Cluster Rockets |
These rockets will detonate only when they hit
an alien target. Upon successful detonation, several new rockets
are launched in all directions, destroying whatever targets
they intercept. |
Ultra Cluster Rockets |
Same as above, with even more warheads. Another
one of the more powerful weapons in the game. |
Scoring Bonuses
There are several different ways of scoring bonus points as you
battle the attacking alien forces. For example, destroying more
then 3 aliens with a single shot, or destroying a wave of aliens
within a certain amount of time (or with only 1 or 2 shots), will
earn you bonus points in addition to the points earned for actually
destroying the aliens. Be observant as you play to discover how
the bonus scoring mechanism works and you will achieve much higher
scores!
