Introduce
Space Invaders X for Game Boy Color brings the classic arcade shooting experience with vibrant color graphics. In the game, players control a single laser cannon that moves horizontally at the bottom of the screen. The primary objective is to shoot down all waves of alien invaders descending from above.
The enemies, iconic alien creatures, move in formation from left to right and back again, gradually lowering their altitude with each horizontal movement. They will fire random projectiles towards the player. If any invader reaches the bottom of the screen or the player loses all their lives, the game ends.
Players can utilize four bunkers as temporary shields to hide from enemy fire. However, these bunkers are progressively destroyed as they are hit by shots from both the player and the aliens. Occasionally, a flying saucer (UFO) will appear across the top of the screen; shooting it down yields high bonus points.
Each level presents a new wave of invaders, with increasing speed and firing frequency, posing a growing challenge. Space Invaders X retains the addictive simplicity of the original, but adds the element of color and the portability of the GBC system, making it an ideal title for quick entertainment.
