Space games: starships, UFOs and a tower of cubes

Five small games set among the stars. The collection is short, but the genres differ: a shooter, a Flappy-style arcade game, a tower built from cubes, a clicker and a flight through a stream of obstacles.

In Defending the Planet you captain a spaceship and protect a planet from asteroids and aliens, with retro graphics and difficulty that ramps up smoothly. Flappy UFO revives the Flappy genre with a space shuttle and a high score to chase. Galactic Mission is also about steering: guide a rocket past space objects without crashing, which takes quick reflexes and precision. In Space Tower a ball hops across passing cubes, and a tower slowly grows out of them. Idle Space Destroyer is a clicker for anyone who has dreamed of conquering planets: upgrade your weapons, build an army and wipe out the last remaining worlds.

If you want action, start with Defending the Planet. In a calmer mood, try Space Tower or Idle Space Destroyer. A good fit for anyone who likes a space setting and quick sessions.
