Space Defender

Space Defender

Hold the line in a contested sector of deep space. Pilot your fighter through drifting asteroids and waves of alien UFOs, weighing every move between staying safe and diving for valuable gems.

How to Play

Objective: Survive as long as possible while collecting gems for points. The longer you last, the more dangerous the sector becomes.

Controls:

• Move: WASD or Arrow Keys
• Restart after game over: R

Hazards:

• Asteroids drift across the field — collisions cost you health.
• Alien UFOs advance toward your position — touching one costs you health.

Pickups:

• Gems spawn periodically around the field. Collect them for points — but they often appear in the most dangerous lanes, so grabbing one is a risk worth weighing.

Game Over: When your health reaches zero, your final score is displayed. Press R to jump back in immediately.
