How to play Space Defender
Open Space Defender, check the instructions and begin a round. Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
Defend your ship through five waves of enemies using the on-screen or keyboard controls.
Build a steady rhythm
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.
Your goal
Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

A useful example
Move sideways between incoming shots. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
