About Space Destroyer
Space Destroyer is a top-down shoot-'em-up about an alien attack. Your mission is to save the galaxy from destruction by destroying all the enemy ships and scoring as many points as you can along the way.
The game is split into three stages, and each stage has three bosses that must be defeated before you can move on. That structure gives every run a clear goal, from the first wave of alien ships to the last boss. The developer lists mouse click or tap to play, so it works with a mouse or on a touch screen.
How to play
Use a mouse click or tap to play. Destroy all the enemy ships to save the galaxy, collect as many points as you can, and defeat the three bosses in each of the three stages to complete the game.
Controls
- Mouse click / tap — play (the developer lists no keyboard keys)
Tips to win
- Survival comes first; you need to get through three stages and nine bosses in total.
- Clear the regular enemy ships as they appear so they do not pile up while you deal with other threats.
- Treat the first time you meet each boss as a chance to learn it, then push for the win on the next try.
Space Destroyer strategy guide
Know the structure. Space Destroyer is built around three stages, and each stage has three bosses that must be defeated. That is nine boss fights in a full clear, plus the regular alien ships between them. Knowing this up front helps you pace yourself: the game is a series of goals, not a single wave you have to survive.
Two goals at once. The developer gives you a mission and a score. The mission is to save the galaxy by destroying all the enemy ships. The score is to get as many points as possible. In practice the two point the same way, since destroying ships earns points, but staying alive to finish the mission should come before risky moves made just for score.
Use the top-down view. Because the game is a top-down shooter, you can see the whole field at once. Keep your eyes moving across the screen rather than locking onto one alien ship. The enemy you are not watching is usually the one that causes trouble.
Keep the screen tidy. Regular enemy ships are worth clearing quickly, not only for the points but because leftovers make the next group harder to handle. Finishing off what is already on screen before new ships arrive keeps each stretch manageable.
Bosses are the checkpoints. Each stage ends only when its three bosses are defeated. Go into these fights with patience. If a boss beats you, use what you saw on the next attempt instead of rushing in the same way. Steady progress through all three stages is how you save the galaxy and post a strong score.
