Space Skirmish: Rebirth

Space Skirmish: Rebirth is a vertical-scrolling arcade shooter in the spirit of old coin-op cabinets.

Guide your fighter through endless waves of enemies: some charge straight down, others weave in zigzags, dive with acceleration or spiral away. Every fifth wave brings a boss assembled from a hull and bolt-on modules — cannons, armour plates, wings, antennas with homing missiles. No two loadouts repeat, and each boss flies a new path, from a sweeping figure-eight to a straight charge at your ship.

Points become coins, and coins become upgrades: fire rate, damage, extra guns, hull strength and handling. Your ship changes visibly too — side cannons, armour plating, additional engines and a glowing reactor core appear as you progress.

Power-ups help in a fight: a shield, doubled fire rate and repairs. Scores go to a shared leaderboard that shows both the top players and your own place among nearby rivals.
