The invaders themselves have individual properties, such as firing lasers, splitting into duplicates or charging for the ground after being hit once. Sometimes there are only a handful of invaders in a tight formation, sometimes individual invaders advance rapidly down the screen separately from the main formation, and sometimes a boss level will be encountered, often consisting of a very large invader and various guards.

The player controls a cannon at the bottom of the display (Yellow on DS and PC, Silver on PSP and Purple on Xbox 360) - this can move left or right and fire.
