Space Stranger — About this game
Space Stranger sends a descending formation toward the laser base, with fewer surviving enemies making the march faster. Four bunkers provide shelter but are damaged by either side’s fire. Shooting through them also carries a score penalty, so carving a convenient hole has a cost. The bonus saucer appears frequently and can reverse direction instead of crossing predictably. Aim for a clear lane before firing, then watch the remaining formation’s speed rather than chasing the saucer until an invader reaches the bottom.
