Ladder Invaders II is a single player arcade game, The player is the middle purple figure and can move up using “S” and down using “X” on a horizontal ladder. Two ladders on the left and right of the player have green figures scaling up. The player must fire on them using “RETURN” to prevent them from reaching the top of their ladder. The laser the player fires goes both left and right and hits all ladders. Once 3 green figures reaches the top, the player loses. The laser also removes the orange background but has not noticable effect on gameplay.
