What is Space War
Welcome to Space War, an epic and action-packed arcade space shooter that brings the classic top-down flying experience into the modern era! The galaxy is under attack by relentless alien fleets, and you are the last line of defense. Pilot your advanced starfighter through deep space, blasting away waves of enemy ships while dodging intense bullet hell barrages. The game perfectly blends nostalgic arcade mechanics with modern roguelike elements. As you destroy enemies, you will gain experience and periodically choose from a randomized set of powerful skill upgrades to enhance your ship's attack, fire rate, and survivability. Between missions, use the gold and diamonds you've collected to permanently upgrade your spaceship's stats in the hangar or unlock new, more powerful fighters. With its stunning sci-fi visuals, intuitive controls, and endless challenging levels, Space War guarantees hours of galactic combat fun!

How to Play & Master
Starting your mission in Space War is simple, but surviving the cosmic battlefield requires sharp reflexes and strategic choices. When you launch into a level, your spaceship will automatically fire its primary weapons forward. Your main responsibility is to control the ship's movement. You must glide across the screen to aim your lasers at the descending alien ships while simultaneously dodging their incoming projectiles and avoiding collisions.
As you destroy enemies, they will drop glowing resources and power-ups. When you progress, you will trigger a skill selection screen. The action pauses, and you are presented with a choice of randomized skills. You might choose to increase your attack power, boost your fire rate, add ultimate reinforcements (like side lasers), or expand your maximum HP. Think carefully about these choices, as stacking the right skills will turn your ship into an unstoppable machine.
At the end of certain stages, you will face a tough boss. Learn their attack patterns and find the safe spots to survive their bullet hell barrages. Even if you fail, the resources you collected are kept. Return to the main menu's "Hangar" to spend your gold on permanent upgrades for your ship (Attack, Rate, HP, Crit, Range), making your next run much easier. Keep upgrading, keep dodging, and conquer the galaxy!
Game Controls
Move: Tap and hold the screen (mobile) or click and drag with your mouse (PC) to move the spaceship anywhere on the screen. Firing is completely automatic.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why did I die so quickly?
A: Some enemy projectiles or direct collisions deal massive damage. Make sure to actively dodge glowing bullets and upgrade your "HP" in the Hangar between missions.
Q: How do I get new spaceships?
A: You can unlock new classic ships and advanced fighters in the Hangar menu after clearing specific chapters (e.g., Clear Chapter 2) or by spending diamonds.
Q: Do my skills reset after each level?
A: The roguelike skills you pick during a stage (like the 3-choice pop-ups) will reset when your current run ends or you fail. However, the stat upgrades you purchase with gold in the Hangar are permanent.
