About game
Cosmic Reckoning puts you behind the controls of a starship fighting for survival against endless alien swarms. You navigate through retro space battlefields where dodging incoming fire is just as important as landing your own shots. Every destroyed enemy drops potential power-ups that boost your firepower or grant temporary invulnerability against overwhelming odds. Waves of scouts and massive bombers test your reflexes as the difficulty climbs steadily with every passing minute. You need to keep your focus sharp because the elite ships appearing later in the game punish even the smallest mistakes. Pixel art visuals combined with a heavy synth soundtrack create a nostalgic arcade vibe that keeps you coming back for another high score attempt. Mastering the movement patterns while managing your special weapons leads to victory against the deepest cosmic threats. Cosmic Reckoning runs perfectly in your browser right now with no download required to join the fight.
How to play
Objective: Destroy enemies, dodge attacks, collect power-ups, and gain points. On a computer: Arrow keys or WASD for movement, Spacebar for shooting, P for pausing, and M for sound. On a smartphone or tablet: Swipe your finger across the screen to make the ship follow your finger and shoot automatically. Take down enemies and collect power-ups as they fall: A fan-shaped shot can hit three enemies at once, while a shield can protect you from a single hit. As you progress, the enemies become faster and more aggressive, and an elite enemy appears in the third wave. Stick with it and set records!
