Free Shooting Games Online

Two takes on the arcade shooter

Arcade shooters are pure reflex and rhythm, and the AetherWave Arcade has two distinct flavors. Wave Invaders is a formation shooter in the Space Invaders mold: hold the bottom of the screen, blast a swarm that flies choreographed patterns, and face a dreadnought boss every fifth wave.

Astral Drift is a different beast, an Asteroids-style game about momentum. Your ship keeps drifting after you thrust, crystal asteroids fracture into faster shards, and a gravity well tugs at your path. Both play free in your browser with no download.
