About Space Combat

Space Combat

A classic top-down vertical scrolling arcade shooter. Fly a 30-mission campaign through five sectors - survival, assault, escort, defense and salvage missions, each sector closed by a multi-part boss - or play Endless Survival, the seeded Daily Challenge and Boss Rush.

Five ships with their own specials, six primary and four secondary weapons, ten enemy types, asteroids, minefields, nebulae, black holes and solar flares. Scrap from every mode buys ships and weapons in the hangar and 36 upgrades in the tech tree.
