A Roach in Space

Overview

A Roach in Space is a top-down space shooter similar to Space Invaders or Galaga. The premise is that you are a roach who was sent to space as part of an experiment. Your ship was trapped in a cosmic ray storm and exploded. You lost two of your legs but survived, and gained the ability to fly in space and shoot energy blasts from your antennae. Your mission is to return to Earth, avoiding the aliens who are trying to kill you. The game features a life bar, power-ups, and many different types of enemies, including 4 mid-bosses and one final boss.
