The concept of Space Invaders Extreme is the same as the original with players controlling a spaceship which can move horizontally left and right along the foot of the screen, with aliens – known as space invaders – occupying the remaining space. The aim of the game is for players to eliminate all the space invaders. Losing all your lives, results in game over.
Space invaders come in different sizes and colours, with some proving to be a lot tougher than others..."
