About Space Shooter
Space Shooter is a classic top-down arcade blaster about holding out against the void. You pilot a lone ship at the bottom of the screen, blasting endless waves of enemies pouring down from above while weaving through meteors and return fire. Survive, score, and see how deep into the swarm you can get.
It captures the timeless arcade tension of dodge-and-shoot. Power-ups drop from cleared waves to boost your fire, and the screen fills with more enemies and denser bullet patterns the longer you last, so it becomes a balance of aggression and careful weaving.
This browser version plays with a keyboard or touch and tracks your best run. It is fast, nostalgic and instantly playable, the kind of arcade shooter that never really goes out of style.
How to play Space Shooter
Pilot your ship along the bottom of the screen, firing upward at the waves of enemies descending toward you. Dodge their shots and the drifting meteors, and grab the power-ups that drop to upgrade your weapons. One too many hits ends the run, so survive as long as you can and score as high as possible.

Tips & strategy
- Keep moving along the bottom. A still ship is an easy target for enemy fire and meteors.
- Grab every weapon power-up, since upgraded guns clear dense waves far faster.
- Weave through bullet patterns rather than trying to outrun them.
- Take out the enemies that shoot first, then mop up the rest.
- Leave yourself room to dodge by not drifting into a corner.
