How to Play ZXSpace

In ZXSpace you command a defensive cannon protecting cities from relentless waves of invading aliens. Every wave becomes more dangerous, requiring quicker reactions, better positioning and careful use of power-ups.

Your objective is simple: keep your cities alive for as long as possible while achieving the highest score you can.

Each game begins with a formation of invading aliens approaching your cities. Move your cannon across the bottom of the screen while it fires automatically at enemy ships.

Destroy every alien to complete the wave. Each new wave increases the challenge with faster movement and greater pressure.

• Move the cannon left and right.
• Automatic firing attacks enemies.
• Destroy every alien.
• Protect your cities.
• Advance to the next wave.

Success in ZXSpace comes from positioning rather than rapid tapping. Place your cannon beneath enemy formations so automatic fire can eliminate them efficiently while leaving room to avoid incoming attacks.

Smooth movement is usually more effective than making constant rapid corrections.

Power-ups appear throughout the game and provide temporary advantages that can help you survive difficult waves or recover from dangerous situations.

ZXSpace currently includes eight power-ups divided between player-specific abilities and shared-world effects. Visit the dedicated Power-Ups guide for complete descriptions.

Special UFOs occasionally cross the battlefield and provide valuable rewards when destroyed. Some may award bonus points while others can drop useful power-ups.

Learning when to chase a UFO and when to stay focused on defending your cities is an important advanced skill.

Your cities are your most valuable resource. Allowing too many enemies to reach them will eventually end your game.

Sometimes protecting a city is more important than chasing a high-value target or collecting a power-up.

Every completed game contributes towards your overall progress. Earn BarkinMad Coins, unlock Game Center achievements and improve your position on the global leaderboards.

Even short games help improve your skills while moving you closer to new milestones.

New players often focus entirely on destroying enemies. Experienced players balance offence with protecting cities, collecting power-ups and maintaining good positioning.

• Stay near the centre whenever possible.
• Protect cities before chasing points.
• Collect power-ups safely.
• Learn enemy movement patterns.
• Practice smooth movement.
