Micro Invaders recreates the classic Space Invaders formula with faithful, fast-paced arcade action. Players control a cannon along the bottom of the screen, moving horizontally to shoot upward at descending alien formations. Five rows of invaders advance while firing back, and players must eliminate them before they reach the bottom. Three alien types award different point values, while a rare flying saucer crosses the top for bonus points. Defensive bunkers provide temporary cover but degrade from both enemy fire and the player's own shots, eventually leaving the cannon exposed. Only one bullet can be fired at a time, adding strategy and timing to each attack. Players start with three lives, earning an extra life at 1,500 points. After each wave is cleared, a new one begins, increasing the challenge. With no true ending, the objective is simple: survive as long as possible and achieve the highest score.
