Features & Capabilities

Pilot your ship, destroy the waves of aliens, and save the humanoids in this frenetic arcade shooter. Hang on, HyperSpace mode is waiting for you!

Humanity is on the verge of extinction. A relentless alien armada falls on Earth, kidnapping the last survivors. You are the only pilot capable of repelling them.

Take control of your combat ship in Human Defender, a frenetic horizontal scrolling space shooter that pays a vibrant tribute to arcade classics, boosted by modern mechanics and explosive visual effects

Defend the Earth against a merciless alien invasion in Human Defender - an old-school space shooter inspired by classic arcade.

YOUR MISSION

The invaders attack. But their real goal: to kidnap humanoids on the ground to transform them into Super-UFOs. Intercept them in flight, bring them back to the central bunker and save humanity!

MAIN FEATURES:

  • Intense Arcade Action: Face growing waves of formidable enemies (UFOs, Bombers, Pods, Swarmers) and prevent them from mutating by tracking down kidnappers.

  • Save Humanoids: Your mission is not only to destroy. Intercept the aliens who kidnap the humans and bring the survivors back to the base.

  • Epic Boss Fights: Get ready to face massive flagships with multiple attack phases (lasers, missiles, teleportation).

  • HyperSpace Mode: Take the risk of diving into Hyperspace! Make your way through accelerated waves for as many points as possible, but watch out for asteroids and end-of-zone bosses.

  • Tailor-made Controls: Play as you feel thanks to two driving modes: an ultra-reactive virtual Joystick (with left-handed/right-handed mode) or tilt driving (Accelerometer) for total immersion. Use swipes to drop devastating bombs or trigger your emergency shield.

  • World Competition: Complete integration of the Game Center. Save as many humans as possible, destroy the bosses, explode your score and rise to the top of the "Hall of Fame".

Your bombs are ready. Your shields are armed. Humanity is counting on you. Good flight, Defender!

I don’t think this is a bad game at all, but it isn’t exactly the original Defender from the 80’s. The game controls are a combo of screen touching and tilting the phone to control speed and it works pretty well once you get used to it. Nice effort by the developer.

Need controls on the screen to control the ship and speed. Tilting the phone doesn’t work very well.
