Description
5 games in 1 space shooter: Arcade, Gravity, Meteors, Turrets, Aliens. Try them all! Good ratings and donations are greatly appreciated ;)
Arcade - Very Easy: Contained within in an energy-cage are color-coded space rocks that break into smaller pieces. Death is possible, but not likely.
Gravity - Easy: Rocks shrink and gain speed towards the gravity device, then slow and grow as its distance increases. If a rock gets too far away it is reset near the center.
Meteors - Challenging: Rocks are spawned from a warp gate close to the earth, blazing into the atmosphere. Points are lost for each one that hits home. Do not get in front of a rock, it hurts!
Turrets - Difficult: This mode challenges your ability to maneuver and make fast, accurate attacks. 5 platforms have numerous turrets and shield generators that protect these turrets. Take out the generators then destroy the turrets, try different angles of attack. Stay in constant motion, or die fast.
Aliens - Tactical Strategy: Five waves of alien crafts attempt to destroy your Starbase, which can build Starships to aid in it's defense. Your Starcruiser can also build Phaser Turrets which can be placed anywhere. Credits are rewarded for each blasted alien. You start with two Starships and can build up to ten, and are allowed to have five Phaser Turrets placed at a time. Be careful when engaging alone, good luck!
How to Play
READ THIS ALL: Mouse to aim/fire, right click to show targets. A/D keys to roll, space to thrust, space+shift for afterburner, and S to stop. 'K' key opens the key settings, allowing the use of USB controllers. 'Escape' key returns you to the menu. 'P' for pause. Aliens mode - 'Y' to build a new Starship, 'U' to build a new Phaser Turret.
1-cockpit camera, 2-cockpit camera stereo 3D, 3-chase camera, 4-chase camera stereo 3D
Impressive accuracy makes the biggest difference in score! There is no time-limit, however each second reduces your score by ten points. I do need to label the bars at the bottom, lol but red is health, green is the laser battery, blue is the shield protection level, yellow is the ship energy. The Starships and Phaser Turrets in the aliens mode: the Starships spawn in front of the Starbase, the Phaser Turret spawns below your Starcruiser, enjoy!

graphics are gorgeous but controls feel a bit off but pretty nice.

Thanks! The controls use physics to rotate the ship, which makes it easier to turn around with the mouse. A USB controller solves the issue but in my opinion makes it a bit hard to aim lol. I sometimes use the mouse to aim and the USB controller (in the secondary inputs) to control the ship ;)

beautifull game & concept. But you probably agree with me that the main menu is hard to read. Especially the last game. Mind putting something behind that, so it's more readable.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback, I made the button text all caps and changed the button graphic ;)

Over 4 years of off-and-on work has went into this game. Everything was done by me, music, sounds, graphics, programming, etc. Hope you enjoy my pride and joy!
