About game

Space combat enthusiasts will find Orbital Defender the ultimate test of reflexes against endless waves of alien attackers. You pilot a nimble fighter tasked with shielding Earth from destruction while dodging incoming projectiles. Constant movement remains your only hope as you circle the arena to gain a better angle on incoming threats. Every alien vessel you dismantle releases power-ups that boost your health or upgrade your weaponry for a short period. Staying alive requires juggling aggressive fire with precise positioning to avoid being boxed into a corner. Higher scores come from efficiency, so make every shot count before the swarm overwhelms your shields. Orbital Defender keeps the pressure high with increasing difficulty that forces you to adapt your strategy on the fly.
