Space Destroyer: Clear the Galaxy of Alien Fleets
📚 Game Guides: games picked by genre, one page each
What is Space Destroyer?
A classic top-down space shooter. You slide your ship left and right, melt the alien waves rolling towards you and take on the huge ships waiting at the end of each stage.
How to play
Steer the ship by dragging the mouse or your finger; the guns keep firing on their own. Shooting down alien craft banks points, and the power-ups they drop raise your firepower. Each of the three stages holds three giant ships, and you cannot move on until they are beaten. Take too many hits from enemy fire and the run is over.

Tips
- Do not sit at the very bottom of the screen; leaving room to escape gets you out of bullet showers.
- Take a risk to collect power-ups, because your weapon level decides the boss fights.
- Watch a boss for one full cycle first, since the attacks repeat in the same order every time.
