Hex Invaders: Co-op

Classic co-op Space Invaders — two cannons fighting the same alien waves on a shared screen. No alien drop mechanic. Survive together or fall together. Communication and coordination are everything — divide the screen and cover each other's blind spots.

Hex Invaders P1: 820 P2: 640 WAVE 3

Controls

  • Arrow Left / A — Move cannon left
  • Arrow Right / D — Move cannon right
  • Space — Fire missile

Rules

  • Both players share the same screen and fight the same alien waves
  • Destroyed aliens are simply destroyed — no drops on opponent
  • Game over when aliens reach the ground or both players lose all lives
  • Scores tracked individually but the goal is shared survival
  • 10 waves of increasing difficulty

Strategy Tips

  • Split the screen — Each player takes a side. Overlapping coverage wastes shots and leaves gaps.
  • Focus fire on edges — Clearing aliens from the sides slows horizontal movement for the entire wave.
  • Protect your partner — If one cannon goes down, the other faces the full wave alone. Keep each other alive.
  • Save lives for later waves — Earlier waves are easier. Play conservatively to have lives for waves 8-10.
