    TRIVIA
    This is the first game manufactured by Universal and the first game of the 'Cosmic' series (See 'Series' section for more info).

    SCORING
    Large Invader: 10 points
    Medium Invader: 20 points
    Small Invader: 30 points
    Saucers: Bonus number of points before touching other saucer, 100 points after touching other saucer

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    If you don't destroy the saucer that flies on top of the screen, it lowers itself and drops a new layer of invaders for you to shoot. This layer covers the whole space (instead of what's left over), so you're forced to shoot across the whole screen again.
