A downloadable game for Windows

Humans continue their exploration of space by traveling to Mars only to find an alien armada awaiting them.  Now, the Battle Over Mars begins!

  • Gain points by destroying the enemy ships.
  • Gain 5x points by successfully traversing your ships to the opposite end of the battle field.
  • When time runs out, the points leader gains bonus points by destroying all of the enemy ships still on the battle field and remaining ally ships safely travel to the other side of the battle field.
  • The icons under each player's score represent each ship's cool-down.
