Space Duke

Space Duke is a 2D spacecraft game in which you steer, shoot enemies and avoid attacks from multiple directions. Its background uses a design intended to create a 3D effect, while the interface combines flat and pixel styles. The overall palette is gray and white, with special colors for the interface text and player.

Control your spacecraft

Use the left and right arrow keys to steer, and the up key to control forward power. Fire with Ctrl and press X to switch weapons. Releasing the fire button restores health; when health falls below 50%, the interface flashes a warning. Collisions can cause the spacecraft to lose control, so use the arrow keys to steady it.

Face timed waves

Enemies attack from several directions, and you must dodge them while returning fire. Waves are timed, and destroying the enemies in a scene in time makes them easier to see. A small map helps you keep track of your position. You do not need to collect items: higher scores unlock gear, and the points used to unlock it are hidden, keeping the focus on shooting and evasion.

Scores and records

The game keeps local records, including death, elimination and score statistics. If you quit unexpectedly midway through a game, such as because of a power outage, error correction preserves the data and treats the game as completed. Steam achievements are supported.
