Give this approach a try
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. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
Making your moves
- Start and steer.
- Hold Fire.
- Avoid enemy projectiles.
- Clear the final tougher wave to win.
Controls
Pointer/arrow movement and held Fire. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
See the idea in action
