Introduce
Space Invaders on the SNES retains the simple yet addictive gameplay of the original arcade version. You control a cannon at the bottom of the screen, firing at descending waves of alien spacecraft. These aliens move in formation, changing direction and increasing speed as you eliminate them. Each wave of enemies presents a progressively more challenging experience, with varying speeds and ship designs.
The SNES version of Space Invaders often includes added features compared to the arcade original. This might involve different weapon types or power-ups, or bonus stages. The primary objective remains the same: shoot down all the enemies before they reach the ground. If an alien ship reaches the bottom of the screen, you lose a life. You have a limited number of lives, and the game ends when you run out. Your score is determined by the number of enemies destroyed and the time taken to complete each wave. The gameplay is simple and easy to understand, but requires quick reflexes and skillful tactics to achieve high scores and overcome the increasingly difficult levels.
