Cosmic Defender
Battle through multiple levels, destroying formations of diverse enemy types - from Interceptors to Juggernauts - that descend upon you. Clear the enemy ranks to engage and defeat a unique, powerful Boss at the end of each protocol level. Survive all challenges to face the ultimate Final Boss encounter. Earn high scores and track your lifetime statistics as you defend the cosmos.
Fire Weapon: Hold Mouse Click, Hold Touch, or Hold SPACEBAR.
