About the Game

War in Space is a retro style arcade shooter where you battle waves of unrelenting enemy ships. With each of the more than eighty waves you will be pitted against many different styles of enemies, from shielded fighters to stationary gun towers and watch out for the highly armoured Bard.
As you progress you gain credits allowing you to upgrade your ship through the tech tree, increasing defence, attack and special capabilities or even request multiple allied ships.
Every ten levels you can choose one of four upgrades, depending on what items you have unlocked in the tech tree and if you happen to die, you will start from that level rather than going back to the very beginning.
Get your name on the War in Space leader board and show off your skills with the more than fifteen achievements on offer.
