About Space.io
Ten ships enter, and the match runs until one of them is the last flying. That structure borrows from battle royale but compresses it into something you can finish in a few minutes, with no lobby of a hundred players to wait through.
Because it is genuine 3D rather than a top-down plane, the dogfighting has a vertical dimension most browser shooters skip. Pitching away from a pursuer is a real option, and so is losing track of where everyone else went. Boost is the resource that decides most exchanges, since a ship with none left cannot break a lock. Ranking climbs across matches and unlocked skins change how your ship looks.
How to play
Fly, shoot the other nine, and avoid being shot. Kills push you up the standings and the pilot left at the end takes the match. Boost is best treated as an escape tool rather than a way to close distance faster.
Controls
- Desktop movement: WASD or steer with the mouse
- Desktop boost: shift or the right mouse button
- Desktop fire: spacebar or the left mouse button
- Touch: swerve your finger to steer, with a dedicated on-screen boost button
Tips
- Approach from above or below. Most opponents track horizontally and miss vertical attackers entirely.
- Save a slice of boost at all times, because escaping costs more than chasing does.
- Let two other ships commit to each other, then take the survivor while their health is low.
