Inspiration
We were inspired by the intense, fast-paced challenge of classic 2D arcade shooters like Asteroids and Galaga. Our goal was to capture that pure, high-stakes survival gameplay and bring it to the web. We wanted to create an experience that is instantly accessible—a fully functional game that loads and runs in any modern browser with zero download or installation required.
What it does
Space Defender is a browser-based survival shooter where the player navigates a spaceship through an endless asteroid field. In this game, Players control a spaceship using WASD/Arrow keys, dodging randomly generated, fast-moving asteroids. User collects glowing stars to increase the score and avoid collisions to maintain health. It tracks a local high score and provides dynamic visual feedback using a smooth particle system and dramatic explosion effects upon collision.
