The Earth is under attack from the invading alien war machine! Take control of the Solar Blaster fighter ship and strike back!

Solar Blaster: Challenge Stage is an action packed space shooter where you’ve got 2 minutes to get the high score. Destroy as many enemy waves as you can within the time limit, collect power ups like rapid fire and spread shot and cause massive destruction with your 3 super bombs.

This game is based on the 2 minute ‘caravan’ shooter format from classic PC Engine games.

Take up the challenge and go for the high score!

Endless Attack mode is also now available! This mode removes the time limit and allows you to play the game for as long as you can survive. Try it for a fun alternative to the standard 2 minute challenge. Switch between Challenge Stage mode and Endless Attack mode on the title screen.

Play the game in your browser above or download the zip folder containing stand alone versions for Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi. The stand alone versions support high score save and can also be played with controllers.
