About game
Space Skirmish: Rebirth is a classic arcade shooter with vertical scrolling, reminiscent of old arcade machines.
Control your fighter and overcome endless enemy waves — some rush directly, others move in zigzags, dive with acceleration or spiral away. Every fifth wave introduces a unique boss, constructed from a hull and various modules: cannons, armor plates, wings, and antennas with homing missiles. Each boss has a different configuration and flies a distinct trajectory, ranging from a sweeping figure-eight to a direct assault on your ship.
Points are converted into coins, which can be used to upgrade your ship: increase fire rate, damage, add additional guns, strengthen the hull, and improve handling. As you progress, your ship will visibly change, gaining side cannons, armour plating, additional engines, and a glowing reactor core.
Power-ups like shields, double fire rate, and repairs will help you in battle. Scores are recorded on a shared leaderboard, showing both the top players and your position among nearby rivals.
How to play
The controls are intentionally straightforward: shooting happens automatically, so your task is to avoid enemy fire and aim accurately. On a PC, use the left and right arrow keys or A and D to move. You can also press the left mouse button, and the ship will follow the cursor. On mobile devices, just touch and drag on the screen — the ship will move where your finger goes. Your objective is to survive as long as possible and score points. Colliding with an enemy or getting hit will cost you a life, but you'll have a short period of invulnerability. When enemies are destroyed, they sometimes drop power-ups: a green cross restores a life, a blue shield makes you invulnerable for a few seconds, and a yellow bolt doubles your fire rate. Every fifth wave, a boss appears. When a boss's health drops to half, it enters a second phase: it changes its trajectory, fires more intense volleys, and moves closer. When it charges, move out of the way immediately — ramming costs a life. Between runs, spend your coins on upgrades. Start with increasing your fire rate and damage, then add more guns and strengthen your hull.Game info
