Space Pew Pew

Space Pew Pew is a roguelite in which you defend your ship from hordes of attacking aliens. Choose weapons and upgrades as you play, survive three four-minute enemy waves with events and bosses between them, then defeat the final boss to complete the level.

Build your ship

Killing enemies generates small stars that you collect to level up. Each level lets you add or upgrade a weapon or a stat upgrade. Weapons fire automatically but only within a set angle, so their placement shapes your ship’s playstyle. Each ship has a different weapon layout, and weapons that reach level 5 can evolve into one of three possible forms, changing their behavior.

A ship editor unlocks as you progress, letting you create ships and choose your strategy. You can focus on offense with eight different weapons, defense with health and regeneration, or luck to get better upgrades. You can also permanently upgrade ships using currency that carries over between games.

Levels and quests

The game has three increasingly difficult levels, each with its own bestiary. The inhabitants of surrounding planets give you quests that can help you level up faster.
