Nebula Wars
Nebula Wars is a cosmic shoot-'em-up that fires for you, so every decision you make is about movement rather than aiming. Your ship auto-fires from the moment a run begins; what keeps you alive is where you put it. Waves arrive in set formations — drones that drop straight down the lane you are standing in, zigzag raiders that cut across your escape route — and each cleared wave raises the level, which speeds everything up and never slows back down. Three difficulty tiers change more than pace: they change how many lives you carry, how often enemies return fire, and how steeply the level curve climbs, so Pro is a genuinely different fight rather than the same fight hurried. Power-ups fall from cleared waves and are worth breaking formation for. Playable with keyboard, mouse or touch, free, with no download and no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I shoot in Nebula Wars?▾
You do not — auto-fire is enabled from the start of every run. The whole game is positioning: where you stand decides what you hit and what hits you.
How do I control my ship?▾
WASD or the arrow keys on a keyboard, or drag anywhere on screen on a phone or tablet. The ship follows your finger directly.
What changes between Easy, Hard and Pro?▾
Lives, how often enemies shoot back, how fast the per-level difficulty curve climbs, and how long you are invulnerable after being hit. Higher tiers are not simply faster — the enemies behave differently.
How does the level system work?▾
Clearing a full set of waves raises your level. Each level makes enemies quicker and more aggressive, and the difficulty never resets during a run.
Do the power-ups matter?▾
Yes. They drop from cleared waves and include shields and spread fire. Leaving your safe position to collect one is usually worth it, and judging when it is not is most of the skill.
Is Nebula Wars free?▾
Yes. It runs in your browser on desktop and mobile with no download, no install and no signup.
