Cosmic Conquest

Hello everyone! I'm a up and coming Indie Game Dev with ZERO background in art... games design....... Or even coding.. Well, that doesn't sound too fun. But my game might be! Please follow me on this venture as I learn how to create games, and play the games I do make in the process. This game will forever be free, so if you find it somewhere else for a cost, it's not me.

This game is called Cosmic Conquest, it is a game inspired by Galaga, and is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.. That means it's not done... That means there might be bugs... That means that there might be things added later. At the moment, it is kind of bare bones.

If you have any features you might want to see that isn't listed, let me know. If it is a well requested feature, or something that I think would benefit the game greatly, I will get working on it.

Current Features!
