Defender is a faithful remake of the classic alien-fighting arcade adventure that puts players in control of a lone ship defending against wave after wave of enemy craft. The game challenges players to shoot down incoming alien spaceships while managing limited ammunition — the more shots you fire, the more aggressive the enemies become — and rewards precision with higher scores. Tilt-based controls allow intuitive steering of the defender ship, making it easy to pick up and play on mobile devices. Fans of fast arcade action and score-chasing will find Defender a compact, challenging experience.
