Solar War

The planets have orbited peacefully for countless millennia. But then… BOOM! Now all orbital bodies are free to move independent of gravity (and they can respawn when defeated too.) You're The Earth… good luck!

About the Game

Solar War! A fast-paced, space-themed, shoot-em-up, bullet hell, arcade style game where players attempt to shoot and weave through a horde of enemy planets in a bid to survive just a little bit longer.

Why planets? Because why not?! You won't see a single spaceship in this game, for we're thinking about bigger things!

(With all this planet talk in this game, we've made the main player be the entire Earth.)

Features

Every game has to include a list of features, otherwise, it isn't really a game at all! Solar War can't be left out, we have our own list of features as well! These include:

  • Numerous distinct planetary objects spread throughout multiple star systems, with their own quirky behavior! (And some of them are based off of real astronomical objects!)

  • Power cubes that can grant useful powerups when collected!

  • Random events and spawns can change things up for better... or for worse. (Usually worse though...)

  • Ruthless bosses that are designed to be challenging! (And annoying. Yes, very annoying.)

  • An upgrade store with upgrades that will help you survive just a little bit longer! (But not much longer. No refunds.)

  • Action-filled gameplay that has you shooting and weaving for hours at a time!

  • Numerous difficulty options, for those that want to spice things up a little bit...

  • Fun Options ensure that the game always remains fresh chaotic!

  • And finally, a high score system! Compete with your friends and see who can get the most points!

Runs will continue to last indefinitely, as long as the player is skilled enough, and the game is merciful enough. (Players that are not proficient at the game will find that their runs take a lot less time!)
