Space pirates attack puts you aboard an engineering spaceship making its way home after a mineral-collecting run — until a full army of space pirates cuts across its path. The premise is lean and the action is immediate, dropping you straight into a retro-flavored 2D space shooter where every click counts.
Several scenes show small red starships with forward-facing wings cutting through a black field scattered with white points of light. Across those same views, five large red circular lenses sit in a horizontal row along the bottom panel of the screen.
Red buttons appear on the screen during the encounter. Clicking the left mouse button on any of those red buttons fires a shot, and a direct hit destroys the enemy it connects with.
If the fast-paced shooting in Space pirates attack appeals to you, the broader shooting games catalog on Playgama has plenty more to explore. Galaxy Warriors keeps the space-shooter energy going with alien fleet formations, upgradeable star fighters, and bullet-hell boss encounters. For a ground-based click-to-destroy challenge, Artillery Vs Tanks rewards accurate fire as you earn money to upgrade your howitzer and buy more powerful guns. Road Chase: Shooter Realistic Guns swaps the cosmos for a high-speed pursuit, letting you unleash a massive arsenal — AK47, minigun, flamethrower, and more — to stop the chase.
The arcade games section is also worth a look if you enjoy quick, reflex-driven sessions like this one.
