The diving spaceships were actually quite useful as it gives you a better chance to restore your bases. Certainly makes the game more interesting! ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green fireballs are when you finally start to use up lives more than ever, and the saucers help you restore shields quickly, but also munch on them. So you need shields more than ever, saucers both give and take them away, and you have to take additional risk darting out from under cover to get the saucers, also taking you off what you should be doing, which is picking off columns of enemies. It's fantastic, and starting at the 1st level after the full invis levels would have made a hell of a 'hard' mode. Pity that most people who played that, never saw the game in its full glory. Very glad you stuck with it and got to enjoy those levels! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligentleman Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Gameplay-wise, can anyone speak to the main differences between this and Space Invaders? I've played some of the latter, but not enough to compare the two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) You can see right away that in space armada the invaders are bigger, start much closer to your ship and have very little lateral room to march back and forth. This results in much less time to clear the enemy, requiring different strategy. In space armada, enemy weapons change as the game advances and you can't shoot enemy missiles.

IntyFanMatt Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 We could really use a score update on this one and a season update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did unofficial season updates through Frogger and if I have time today, I'll try to compile the Space Hawk scores and post a season update in that thread. Let me know if I'm stepping on toes by doing so just trying to save Jacob time when he has a chance to catch up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace24 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Still trying hard on this. Played many games today & reached board 14 once with 50420 points. Just short of improving my top score. That’s about the best I can do. I keep thinking if I play to board 13 or 14 enough times, eventually I’ll have a game where I hit a bunch of high value saucers. But I don’t get there very often. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full props to you for maintaining this for us, it is absolutely not as easy as it might seem to compile that list without messing up. I must have reviewed the listing 3-4 times and still messed up!
