What kind of beast Invaderz Space Arcade is: rules, tricks and a few tips

The igrasu.ru catalog holds hundreds of games, and this is one people keep coming back to. Here is how it works and how to get the most out of it.

What this game is

InvaderZ is Space Invaders that evolve right before your eyes. Each wave of enemies is produced by a genetic algorithm: invader shapes are crossed over, mutated and selected by survival, so the opponents grow more inventive generation after generation. Shoot them down before they slip past — five leaks and it's game over. Fully procedural graphics and physics, not a single external file. Play with the keyboard or the big on-screen buttons on your phone.
