About Space Shooter
Space shooter is the kind of rocket and spaceship game lots of people search for. You captain a little rocket flying through the stars, while grinning green aliens, purple flying saucers and sleepy space rocks drift down towards you. The rocket fires on its own, so all you have to do is steer and aim.
When a shot hits an alien it pops into tiny colorful stars, with nothing scary or violent. The game comes in waves: each wave brings more and faster visitors, and from wave three the flying saucers start dropping pink jelly blobs that you need to dodge.
Now and then a gift floats down: the orange one gives you a double shot, and the light blue one wraps you in a shield that blocks one bump. You have 3 hearts, and after every bump the rocket is protected for two seconds so you can get away. It's light and runs on old computers and phones.

- The rocket fires by itself: get underneath the aliens to pop them and score points.
