About Play And Earn
Play and Earn turns a few minutes of arcade action into coins you can cash out. Space Attack is a fast, retro-style space shooter. Fly a single ship against formations of enemies and clear them wave by wave as the difficulty climbs. Every level you clear earns a coin. HOW IT WORKS • Tap Play Space Attack to start a run — ten plays a day • Clear a level to earn 1 coin. Three lives per run • Watch an optional short video after a cleared level for 3-9 bonus coins • Cash out to PayPal once you reach 2,000 coins ($2.00) BUILT FOR A SHORT SESSION Touch or joystick controls, switchable mid-game. Progressive difficulty as you advance. Your best score and recent games sit on the home screen next to what your coin balance is currently worth, and how many plays you have left today. WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM Advertisers pay to reach people, this game shows their advertising, and the coins are your share of it. That is the whole model — no subscription, nothing to buy. It is also why a video pays 3-9 coins where a cleared level pays 1: the video is the most direct form of that share. HONEST ABOUT THE MATH This is a small bonus for a game you were going to play anyway, not an income. 10 coins equals one cent, and payouts start at 2,000 coins ($2.00). You can decline every video and still cash out, but on cleared levels alone that is a long road — the videos are most of the earn rate. Payouts are reviewed before they're sent. PayPal requires account holders to be 18 or over. No account needed. No sign-up. Just open it and play.
What’s new
Version 1.0.4 · Updated September 8, 2026
A better-looking game, and a change to cashing out. The arcade game has been redrawn. Enemies are proper ships now, they bank as they dive, and each wave flies in and forms up instead of appearing all at once. Kills burst in colour, and the dive bonus is easier to read. Your first cash-out is still 2,000 coins ($2.00). Every cash-out after it now needs 5,000 coins ($5.00). PayPal charges us a near-flat fee on every transfer, so it takes a far bigger bite out of a small payout than a large one — keeping your first one cheap and batching the rest leaves more to pay you with. The reason is shown on the cash-out screen whenever it applies.
