Astro Shooter

Yes. Astro Shooter is free and runs in your desktop browser, so there's nothing to download or install. Open the page, take control of your starfighter and start blasting through the first wave.

On desktop, you steer the ship with your mouse cursor. For mobile devices, the game uses on-screen joysticks instead. Either way the controls are meant to be easy, so you can focus on dodging the enemies swarming you.

Power-ups you collect mid-run give your ship temporary, powerful builds. They don't last, so make the most of them, especially when one of the massive 3D boss ships shows up.

The garage is the permanent upgrade area. You spend the coins you earn there to unlock new ships and max out your core stats, so each run can take you further than the last.

Not everything. Your run ends, but your power doesn't: what you buy in the garage is permanent, so unlocked ships and boosted stats carry into your next run. Temporary power-up builds are the part that goes away.

Everywhere. Endless waves of enemies attack from all directions, so there's no safe side of the screen to park on. Keep your starfighter moving and keep an eye on every edge of the screen.

It's listed under Controller Compatible Games on the site. The controls we describe are mouse on desktop and on-screen joysticks on mobile, so the mouse is the safest bet if you want the described setup.

Yes. You can take down massive 3D boss ships in Astro Shooter, so it's worth grabbing a power-up build when you can and spending your coins in the garage on new ships and better stats.
