Synopsis

Alien Invasion is a still screen shoot based on Space Invaders but with some gameplay additions. There are twelve different invaders in the game, including one that takes two hits to kill. Invaders have three different types of bombs: normal bombs that fall straight, spinning bombs that fall diagonally, and homing bombs that seek out the player. One notable difference with Space Invaders is that the old shields are gone. Instead, the laser base has a built-in shield that can be activated for protection. The player starts with two shields and gets new ones at the start of each new wave. UFOs act as supply ships and will randomly drop power-ups for the player to catch. Bonuses include extra lives and shields, preventing invaders from moving or dropping moving bombs and rockets. There's also a power-up that makes invaders invisible.
