These aliens will fight back by dropping lasers downwards. Be very careful not to bump into the aliens or tall structures on each base. It will cost you destruction.

The game would then be over. Between the score panel and below it is a timer bar. This will drain per interval. This indicates how far or near you are to the next level. After the bar runs out fully, you will move onto the next level, which will get faster. For each level completed, a bonus of 1,000 points will be awarded.​
