Space Invaders Game – Play Free Online
Play a free Space Invaders style game right in your browser. Rows of pixel aliens march side to side and drop lower every time they reach the edge, and they speed up as you shoot them down. Move your laser cannon left and right, fire one shot at a time, and hide behind the four shields as they crumble under enemy fire. Hit the mystery UFO that zips across the top for 100 bonus points. Clear a wave and the next one starts closer and faster. You have three lives, and your high score is saved in your browser. Play with the arrow keys or A and D plus Space on a computer, or use the on-screen buttons on a phone or tablet. Full screen is supported.

Frequently asked questions
How do you play Space Invaders?
Move your cannon along the bottom and shoot the aliens before they reach the ground. Dodge their bombs, use the shields for cover and clear each wave.
How are points scored?
Bottom-row aliens are worth 10 points, the middle rows 20 and the top row 30. The mystery UFO is worth 100 points.
Why do the aliens speed up?
Just like the 1978 arcade original, the fewer aliens are left, the faster the formation marches, so the last few are the hardest to hit.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Use the ◀ and ▶ buttons to move and the Fire button to shoot. You can also drag on the game to move.
Is this the official game?
No. This is an original, free browser game in the classic fixed-shooter style, made for fun. It has no ads inside the game and no download.
