How to play Alien Attack
Rows of aliens march from side to side, stepping down each time they reach the edge and dropping bombs as they go. Move the cannon with Left and Right and fire with Action or Up — only one shot can be in the air at a time. Shelters protect you but crumble under fire from both sides, and a saucer sometimes crosses the top for bonus points. If the aliens reach your cannon, the game is over.

Speed and level
SPEED and LEVEL go from 1 to 10. You set them in the menu before the game starts; they also rise as you play. The higher they are, the faster the game — and the more points each action is worth.
Tips
- Clear whole columns at the edges to slow the fleet's descent.
- The fewer aliens remain, the faster they march — stay alert.
