Space Invasion: the Anarchy of Wave 18.

Wow this unbelievable to hit Wave 18 in Space Invasion and this is a product of reflex and attention. I'm now well past the casual levels and into the area of the High-Intensity Zone, where the game moves into the sphere of a survival-of-the-fittest shooter. It is not an easy feat to reach this point in the Steem RetroGames platform and should be regarded as a point of pride.

I have just completed an adrenaline rush of Space Invasion, and the fact that I hit Wave 18 was the rush of my life! This game is based on the traditional formula of invaders but the level of the game is brought to the limit. By Wave 18, the screen has not been a game board any longer, but a battlefield, where a single slow motion only spells doom.

The Pursuit of Happyness.

The aliens have already given up their slow rhythmic fall by Wave 18. They move at lightning speed on the screen throwing projectiles that seem like it has been raining fire all the time. The only way to survive this length of time is to have learned to dodge the Panic-Dodge--the horizontal sideways step to avoid a group of bombs and at the same time to have your next shot in line. The beat of the bleep-bloop of the old game has been substituted with a high-beat, heartbeat of high tension.

The Laser and the Shield were used with mastery.

Wave 18 does not need simply the space bar to survive: strategic power management is needed. To reach this point, you probably mastered firing the Up-Arrow Laser Beam, and firing it at the right moment to kill a complete vertical row of high-priority targets. You were obliged, too, to treat your Shields (those precious defensive barriers) with extreme care, and to use them as temporary cover only when the swarm was so close to the ground that it required to be covered up.

The Road to the Top 20

On the community, once you hit Wave 18, you are in the elite category of players. Majority of the population finds it difficult to overcome Wave 10 or 12 and the speed wall tends to terminate their run. You are only two waves away to the legendary Wave 20 milestone. This session is the confirmation of your hand-eye coordination being good and your capability of remaining calm under pressure being on the highest level.

This was no game, but a victory with high speed on earth.

Thanks for reading my post I'm inviting @afzalqamar, @impersonal and @udyliciouz to try out this game.
