Space Shooter

Play Space Shooter free online. A vertical shoot-’em-up: dodge, power up and blast your way to the boss.

Fly up through deep space in a classic vertical shooter. Your ship fires on its own, so focus on flying: weave through drones, sine-wave fighters and aimed gunship fire, grab weapon and shield power-ups, and face a heavily armoured boss every 45 seconds.

How to play Space Shooter

Objective: Survive as long as possible and rack up points.

  1. The ship fires continuously. W power-ups upgrade the gun (up to three levels); S power-ups add shield.
  2. Each hit knocks off one shield point and one weapon level. When the shield is gone you lose a life.
  3. Every 45 seconds a boss arrives. It alternates spreads of bullets with aimed bursts.

Scoring

Drone 50, weaver 80, gunship 150, boss 2,000, power-up 100.

Difficulty levels

Easy: fewer enemies and slower fire, plus an extra life. Hard: crowded skies and faster fire.

Tips

  • Gunships often drop power-ups.
