Blasting at aliens

In World Defense, Space Invaders appear from building and rooftops - hiding behind various structures. Users can hunt these aliens while discovering new Space Invaders in their localities.

According to Google's blog post, players can also unlock special power-ups and team up with other plays. In addition, they can share their achievements on social media with an AR selfie.

The game is supported by Google's ARCore tech. Essentially, if your device doesn't support ARCore, this game will not play on the same. The company also uses its Geospatial API to bring the immediate surroundings of buildings, including buildings and landscapes, into the game.
