This App is designed with 4 levels: 1) Classic Invader + UFO; 2) Aircraft + Starship; 3) Space Robot; 4) Titanium Ship as the prototype to model different invaders, each with its own different movement and Combat skills; if you are lucky enough to cross these four levels, if you are interested, there will still be more difficult random blind box combinations of various battleships to let you experience different pleasures. 2. Invader attack type: the opponent directly attacking you are two types: missiles launched by battleships and space robots dispatched from battleships. What you have to do is not to be hit by the missiles fired by the opponent in your battle cockpit, which is your mobile phone screen. 3. Tactics: Warships will not attack you from outside the range of your screen viewing angle, that is to say, they will not put cold guns behind you, and will only attack you when they move to the visible position of your screen. So don't be nervous, you can collect defensive tactics when the opponent's forces are long, and take the initiative to attack and annihilate when the opponent's number is small. The specific tactics vary according to people's preferences, and everyone has their own experience. 4. Radar view: The radar view display in the upper right corner of the interface marks the coordinates of all current targets relative to your current mobile phone position. Common targets are blue, missiles and space robots in attack are red (precautions), and BOSS such as UFO starships are purple It also has more targets than ordinary targets, and requires multiple shots to kill. Only killing Boss means that the current mission is completed. In addition, in order for you to better locate the target, if the target point is solid, it is in front of your screen plane. If the target point is hollow, it means that the target point is behind your screen plane. 5. Crystal energy supply: When you are hit by the opponent and lose a certain amount of vitality, there will be crystal energy objects appearing and moving around you. The target needs you to use the phone screen to actively hit it, and a new one will be added for you vitality. Do not fire weapons to hit crystal objects. 6. Others , This application is completely developed by independent developers. If there are any problems in design or use, comments and suggestions are welcome. 8. Thank you!
