About Captain Space
It is a level-based space shooting game that starts you at Level 1 and makes every stage after that a bit tougher.
Next to the level run there is a Survival mode, where four hits end your game. That makes keeping your ship intact just as important as clearing out enemies, which gives the whole thing a straightforward arcade feel.

Steering counts as much as firing in this kind of action. In the later levels you have to place your ship carefully to stay in one piece while you clear a path forward.
