Play Space Invaders Online

Summary

Space Invaders EX – known simply as Space Invaders in North America and as Space Invaders X in Japan – brings the classic alien‑shooting formula to the Game Boy Advance with a fresh visual twist. The 1‑Player mode expands the old gameplay by introducing four colored enemy types; each color drops a unique rocket – straight, right‑turning, left‑turning, or a diagonal splitter – that you earn after clearing four of the same hue in a row. Classic Mode faithfully recreates the original arcade feel, reshaped for the handheld’s smaller screen, while a hidden unlock reveals the 1978 arcade version and even an Asteroids‑style boss on the ninth level.

Multiplayer shines through the GBA Link Cable, offering both versus and cooperative play, and the game rewards skill with shield upgrades and tougher enemy variants that gain extra firepower or durability. Torus Games polished the experience by converting the 3‑D models of the console versions into crisp, high‑resolution sprites, giving the handheld a surprisingly rich look.
