About this game: VOID ARENA '97
Game version: 0.1.19
Drift, aim, fire. Space dogfights in three minutes.
A multiplayer space shooter you play online, in the browser. Your ship drifts with real momentum while you aim anywhere with the mouse: slide one way and shoot the other. Pick one of five weapons, fight over power-ups across five arenas, from crumbling asteroid fields to a black hole that bends every shot, and outscore up to five rivals in fast three-minute deathmatches, with friends by link, in quick play, or solo against bots.

What you get
- Real momentum and free aim: your ship drifts until you counter-burn, while you aim and fire anywhere with the mouse, so you can slide one way and shoot the other
- Five weapons, each its own fight: Pulse Cannon, Plasma Scatter, Railgun, Homing Rockets and a Laser Beam that overheats, plus power-ups like EMP, Overdrive and Double Shot
- Five arenas with a twist each: asteroids that crumble under fire, a station split by shield walls, a black hole that bends ships and shots, solar storms, and a dead warship
- An online multiplayer space shooter in the browser: quick play in seconds, private rooms by link, and bots that take any empty seat and play by the same rules

Before you play
Do I need an account to play with friends?
No. Create a private game, share the link, and anyone who opens it joins your room with just a name.
Can I play alone?
Yes. Solo arena fills the room with bots that fly, aim and dodge by the same rules as people, at the skill level you choose.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Hold the phone sideways: twin sticks move and aim, and a button dashes. On a computer a keyboard and mouse or a gamepad work.
