Space Shooter is a browser-based arcade game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. Think shooting — that is the shape of it. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Space Shooter
Navigate through the galaxy avoiding the asteroids or shooting at them. The more asteroids you hit, the more higher is your score!

Why it is worth playing
The reason Space Shooter holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — shooting — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. That is the whole pitch, and it is enough.
