Gameplay
Similar to the gameplay of Space Invaders, Space Fever stars alien invaders who are attacking Earth. Player must shoot them out of the sky before they land, while avoiding each projectile shot by them. The alien craft are arranged in rows and they slowly move left and right across the screen. When the row reaches the edge, the ships drop down a row and move in the opposite direction.
Unlike Space Invaders, Space Fever has three different game modes, instead of one for 1- or 2-player games:
- Game-A: There are two "blocks" of aliens that move in opposite directions to each other.
- Game-B: The aliens move as one "block", but they only appear one row at a time.
- Game-C: Equal to Space Invaders - all the aliens move as one "block" in the same direction.
As players shoot more enemies, the speed of them will increase, as will the number of their projectiles. Players have four shelter blocks above them that absorb the enemy shots until they are worn through, and being hit by an enemy shot will cost players a life. Players have three lives and once they lose all of them, the game is over. Sometimes a UFO will fly along the top of the screen and can be hit for a random amount of Bonus points.
