The ship fires itself. You only choose where to be.
01 — Story
Space Shooter is a vertical arcade pass. Your ship sits low and fires on its own. Waves come down from the top. You have three lives.
Drag a finger or the mouse and the ship follows. Arrows or A and D work on a keyboard. Red drones fly straight and take one hit. Orange ships weave and take two. From level three, purple tanks take four hits and shoot back.
A yellow P upgrades the gun from a single stream to a double and then a spread. A blue S is a shield that absorbs one hit. Taking damage strips the gun upgrade, so staying alive is worth as much as shooting. The level rises every 400 points and the waves speed up. The lower middle of the screen gives you the most room to react. The best score stays on this device, and a tab switch pauses the run.
Do not look for a fire button. Steer into the gaps and pick up P and S when the lane is safe.
