About the game
Defend the galaxy in a vertical space shooter. Steer your ship with a finger, the mouse or the arrow keys while your guns fire on their own. Enemies weave in sine waves, dive straight at you or fly in V-shaped formations, and some of them shoot back with slow bullets.
Every fifth wave brings a boss with its own health bar and bullet patterns, from spinning rings to walls of bullets with a gap to fly through. Collect double shot, shield and speed power-ups. Tougher enemies are worth more points, and every boss you destroy pays a big bonus.
Free to play in the browser, on phone and computer. You have three lives, and a rewarded ad can give you one more.
