Suckaz: Defeat Black Hole Enemy Spaceships

June 2, 2012 by Shelly Cooper

The Primulan Dynasty of Lactorze Six has begun its invasion. We must evacuate as many people as possible before their primary weapons – Black Holes – swallow our home planet. You will take control of our only defenses, a series of remote control attack vessels, in order to ensure as many escape this carnage. We’ll be able to send you upgrades at the same time as you pick up treasure from the destroyed enemy ships.

Controls: WASD to move. Mouse to aim and shoot. SPACE to use smart bomb. ESC to go to shop.

Tips

The more powerful your weapons, the more weapon coolant you will need.

You’ll also need plenty of engine power so you can collect all those lovely powerups and avoid being sucked into black holes.

Shoot the black holes as quickly as you can – the longer they stick around, the harder they are to kill.

If you find your ship too slow, try building up speed and bouncing off the walls. It should help, but even if it doesn’t, it’s great fun.

Why spend 20 on a half shield charge when you can spend 60 for a full charge and increase the max shield at the same time!

Don’t buy weapons unless you’ve got the coolant to cover it. Don’t buy 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 – go for 3 and 6 only. Or maybe 3 and 5 if you’re feeling poor.

If you’re feeling particularly powerful with weapon 4 or higher, press ENTER/RETURN and just spin.

When your engines are low it’s possible to use a black hole to get a powerup provided you’ve got the skill.

Uniwar: Space Battle

May 28, 2012 by Shelly Cooper

In this game, you use your lasers to destroy enemy ships. In most cases the pre-charged laser will do, but you can also supercharge your laser by holding down your left mouse button and releasing it when the enemy is in sight. Be sure to keep your hull from getting damaged; your shield will protect you from most blasts, but it can’t take repeated hits. The best defense is to blast enemies and missiles as soon as you see them. When you face the boss ship, focus on its missiles first, then attack the boss’s shields.

Controls:

Mouse and left mouse button to aim and shoot respectively.

Holding the left mouse button down for a while charges up your laser gun so it can wipe out more enemy ships.

Press the ~ key (top left of keyboard) to activate a menu console in the game.

D-Space: Build Starships & Conquer the Galaxy

March 21, 2012 by Shelly Cooper

Your objective in this game is to conquer the galaxy and to defeat the terrible foe that stands in your way. To achieve this goal you need resources, planets, solar systems and life forms to man your ships. In each level you need to build a fleet of starships, have a strong resource base and then to succeed you need to destroy the enemy mothership. Once you have achieved this you can move onto another solar system and continue your conquest for the galaxy.

Controls: Mouse click or click and drag to select unit(s) and then click where you want them to go.

Click a unit a second time to unselect it.

Arrow keys to scroll around solar system or simply click on a location in the small map to go there.

Click on a conquered planet to upgrade it’s resource production levels.

Starting the Game

The first thing you must do is create starships for defense/offense and planet colonisation. Only your monthership can produce starships and you must defend it with your life.

Colonising planets is essential to gain resources (gas and ore) that can then be used to build more ships.

Only one type of ship can be used to colonise a planet – the Bomber unit. Make sure you have at least one of these at any one time – don’t use all your resources without first building this unit!

The more planets you take, the more resources you will have to defeat the enemy and destroy their mothership.

You will gain new units as you progress through the game and as you upgrade your mothership.

Planets

Planets contain the resources you require to conquer the galaxy and defeat your enemy. Each planet may have different levels of resources so you will need to take as many as possible to produce your fleet of starships.

Once you have taken a planet you will need to protect it by leaving a minimum number of ships orbiting it.

Planets can be upgraded by clicking on them – this will increase resource production from that planet.

Starships

You have a range of defensive and offensive ships that can be used to win the game. Initially however, you only have a couple of the basic starships that are required to fulfill your objectives.

It is important to upgrade your mothership when you have the resources, allowing you to research new starship types that will be required to defeat an increasingly more challenging enemy as you progress through the galaxy.

Different starships move at different speeds. You can select each ship individually to move it from one point to another or click and drag a group of ships to move them. If you have a mixed group of starships, the armada will only move at the speed of the slowest unit in the group.

The mothership is the slowest unit and really should only be moved short distances in the game.

Your starships will engage enemy fighters if they become a threat (get too close). You can at any time call back units that are fighting a losing battle, but be warned it could cost you a planet or worse.

Spaceman 2: Alien Specimen Collector

January 16, 2012 by Shelly Cooper

Spaceman is out to collect alien specimens from different worlds so he can study them back home. Help him guide his ship around the treacherous planet surfaces and grab as many creatures as possible. Avoid the rocks and ice spears, and pay attention to your fuel gauge. Note: See below game for instructions and tips.

Instructions: Arrow keys to move; spacebar to collect specimens.

Space Pilot: Dodge Asteroids

January 16, 2012 by Shelly Cooper

Space Pilot is like the classic Asteroids game… without the guns. Instead of blasting big asteroids into little asteroids, you have to use your quick catlike reflexes to dodge the asteroids, mines, walls, etc. until the danger has passed. This version of the game has been updated so that you can at least beat it… although the later levels are still nearly impossible. Note: See below game for instructions and tips.

Instructions: Use your arrow keys to control your spaceship. Keep in mind that you’re in space, so won’t slow down much once you start moving; you’ll need to use your thrusters to stop or reverse direction. The name of each mission gives a clue as to what you’ll need to do. Some of the later missions are really tough and require very quick reflexes and timing, but if you keep at it, you’ll make it.
