Seriously, you might forget about that cup of tea sitting next to you until it’s ice cold.

Your mission? Defend the galaxy from waves of enemies trying to wipe out humanity. You’ll face different types of foes, each with their own attack patterns, and you’ll need to think on your feet. The goal isn’t just survival you also have to take down the enemy’s base using an arsenal of powerful star weapons.
