Key Features
- Dual Pilot Action: Team up with a friend to hold the line. Your success depends on how well you cover each other's blind spots during waves.
- Ship Upgrade Path: Collect scrap to boost your firepower. Every upgrade makes those late-game alien bosses feel slightly less impossible to take down.
- Retro Survival Loop: The difficulty spikes hard after the first three waves. Expect to restart often when the screen fills with projectiles.
- Tight Hitboxes: The game demands precision. You will clip a stray laser if you aren't paying attention.
How to Play
Space wars: mastering movement
Use WASD for player one and the arrow keys for player two to navigate the void. Space wars controls feel a bit floaty at first, so don't over-correct when you dodge debris. Keep your ship centered. You will drift into enemy fire if you stay near the edges for too long.
How to play Space wars together
Coordinate your fire to take down the larger alien cruisers faster. One player should focus on clearing the small swarms while the other tackles the heavy hitters. Remember, don't spam the shoot button blindly. You have to wait for the cooldowns to reset or you will be left defenseless.
