Space Defender: how a round works
Read the aim of Space Defender, then make your first move. Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Defend your ship through five waves of enemies using the on-screen or keyboard controls.
Practice beyond the first move
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
