About Attack In Space
This is an arcade game, in which you can move a ship and shoot lasers to hit enemy ships! Use left arrow and right arrow to move the spaceship and press space bar for shoot! This is my first videogame!
How to play Attack In Space
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
Controls
| Input | Action |

| Mouse | Aim |
| Left click | Fire |
| WASD | Move |
| R | Reload |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What keeps Attack In Space worth returning to is how quickly a single round resolves. It respects your time — you are never more than a click from another attempt. Nothing about it assumes you have played it before.
