Space Purge drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. The core of it is shooting and strategy. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Space Purge
Space Purge is an action shooting game. You are the last defense of the Earth from space rocks approaching the planet. Fly into outer space and shoot the rocks before they fall to the Ground. The earth is one, so if even one stone flies past you, the game is over. However, you have three spaceships, so protect the Earth with everything you have.
