The TARDIS has to be controled by using the arrow keys to go left or right. If you press the space bar the humans will be beamed up. The beams have to be timed to successfully rescue people. If you rescue an Ood you will get bonus points. Oods only appear in the game when a special code from the Doctor Who: Monster Invasion magazine is added. The Silence is recognisable through their electrically charged hands. If you beam up the Silence they will explode and you will loose points.
There are 10 levels taking place in a park, a village, a town and a city.
Within each level you have to save more humans/Oods to reach the next level and more and more members from the Silence appear.
For the purposes of this list, a "Silent story" is one in which one living, authentic Silent plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Closing Time are not counted due to the Silents' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories. Stories like The Gunpowder Plot, A Night with the Stars and Revolution of the Daleks are also not included due to the Silents' appearance being of no consequence to the plot of the story.
For the purposes of this list, an "Ood story" is one in which one living, authentic Ood plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Waters of Mars are not counted due to the Oods' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories. Stories like Face the Raven, Hell Bent and Revolution of the Daleks are also not included due to the Oods' cameos being of no consequence to the plot of the story.
