How to play Space Ball Invaders
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing
What keeps Space Ball Invaders worth returning to is how quickly a single round resolves. It respects your time — you are never more than a click from another attempt. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
