About Space Defender
Space Defender is a free online typing shooter set above a starlit base. Alien saucers dive with word shields — type to lock the lowest invader and your gunship fires a homing bolt on word completion. Easy gives your base more HP; survive all five sectors to the mothership!
Guide How to play
- Pick a difficulty: Easy, Normal, or Hard. Harder modes dive faster with more ships.
- Type the word on the lowest diving saucer to lock your guns on it.
- Finish the word and a homing bolt fires automatically and destroys it.
- Scouts are fast, cruisers are worth bonuses, and dreadnoughts hit hard — prioritize the lowest threat.
- Every ship that reaches the base damages it — at 0 HP the base is lost.
💡 Tips to type faster
- Always type the lowest saucer first — height is danger.
- Finish words cleanly; a half-typed lock still lets the ship through.
- Save your focus for dreadnought waves — they deal the most base damage.
- Chain destroys without mistakes to raise your combo multiplier.
