Super Mega Space Blaster Special

Super Mega Space Blaster Special is a fast-paced space shooter with bullet-hell elements. Set in 2051, it follows your efforts to protect a huge unmanned spaceship from the aliens living on a planet that may be habitable. From Earth, you remotely control one of the ship’s space blasters to destroy the attackers and help humanity survive.

Game modes

The game has three modes, playable alone or with a friend in local co-op where noted:

• Survival Mode: manage fuel and ammunition as you fight your way to the boss. Play solo or in co-op.
• Protect Mother Mode: defend your mothership from damage. Play solo or in co-op.
• To The Death Mode: compete locally against another player to destroy your opponent. This mode is for two players.

Space blasters and weapons

Collect coins to unlock all 10 space blasters, each with its own strengths. Fast ships can dart around enemies, while slower ships allow more precise aiming; some ships have turrets that enable twin-stick control. Power-ups include lasers, homing missiles and multi-shot, while big-bombs clear nearby enemies, shields help you survive longer, and magnets pull fuel and ammunition toward you.

Enemies and progression

Fight over 15 enemies and a boss in endless score-chasing gameplay. The game continues after you defeat the boss, and you can compete for high scores on the Steam Leaderboards. More than 20 in-game challenges let you earn coins and develop your piloting skills, and the game includes more than 20 Steam achievements.

Local play and presentation

Play alone, team up with a friend in local co-op, or compete locally in To The Death Mode. The game uses a simple hand-drawn art style that makes enemies easy to pick out among the asteroids, and features an original 80s-inspired synth-pop soundtrack by Electric Fan Death.
