How to Play Space Shooter
Your mission is to protect your ship while enemy spacecraft descend from the top of the screen. Fire continuously, avoid enemy attacks, and clear each wave to face a greater challenge.
- Click Start Mission to begin.
- Move your ship with the Left and Right arrow keys or A and D.
- Hold Space to fire laser shots at enemy ships.
- On mobile, drag your finger across the play area to steer. The ship fires automatically while you play.
- Destroy enemies to earn points and advance through waves.
- Collect falling power-ups for extra firepower or a temporary shield.
- Avoid enemy projectiles and collisions. You start with three lives.
Tips for a Higher Score
- Keep moving: A moving ship is harder for enemies to hit.
- Watch incoming fire: Change direction early rather than waiting until a projectile is close.
- Collect power-ups: Useful upgrades can make difficult waves easier.
- Stay away from corners: Leave room to dodge attacks on either side.
- Clear each wave: Destroy the remaining enemies to unlock the next wave.
Mission tip: Don't stay in one position while shooting. Move across the field, watch enemy patterns, and leave yourself space to escape incoming projectiles.
