About the Game

The Story

Defend Terra against the onslaught of hostile invaders in this 2D top-down space shooter.

The Fight

  • Fight against different enemy space factions, with wave after wave of increasingly difficult enemy ships.

  • Once a faction has been defeated the next faction will advance towards Terra.

  • That's not all, once all factions have been defeated they start over, with even more enemies as you progress again and again for more challenges.

Your Ship

  • Your thrusters can propel you forward as well as backwards to maneuver your ship in combat.

  • Jet away from danger with your boosters.

  • Charge up your shields, to deflect enemy weapons for a time.

  • Blast enemies with your lasers and rockets.

  • Repair your ship with collected metal plating.

  • Keep your power regulated to avoid power failures.

Upgrade Your Tech

  • Collect credits and tech from defeated enemies and use those items to upgrade and empower your ship's 29 different systems to stand a chance against the onslaught.

  • You also gain a tech each time you level up.

The End

If you fall, Terra falls, and the rest of the galaxy will soon follow.
