Google has launched Space Invaders: World Defense, an augmented reality version of the game created in partnership with developer Taito, for mobile devices.
The game, which was developed for the series’ 45th anniversary, sees players defend the real world from the titular and recognisable space invaders as they duck behind buildings in order to rack up a high score.
The game will feature social elements, Google said, which will let players compete with friends and other players nearby.
