Script description

Star Defender

Hold the line against a swarm that descends a row every time you blink.

Panels: 52x16 and 32x8

The game

Shoot upward, dodge sideways, and watch the swarm step closer with every pass.
The formation speeds up as you thin it out, so clearing the last few is the
hardest part of every wave — which is as it should be.

What to watch for

  • The descent. The swarm drops a row at the end of each sweep. Count the
    rows, not the seconds.
  • The stragglers. The last two move fastest.
  • Your ship flashes red for a moment after a hit.

Controls

  • LEFT / RIGHT — move
  • SELECT — fire
  • Gamepad — the D-pad moves, A fires

Two players

Connect a second gamepad and a second ship joins the same wave, sharing the
lives. Two guns, one line to hold.

Settings

  • Sound effects (on) — shots, hits, explosions
  • Music (on)
  • Announce the score (on)
