Nightstrike

Nightstrike was one of those straightforward action games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick, engaging way to pass time in a browser. The game had a clean, functional look typical of that period, focusing on immediate play over elaborate story or graphics.

You control a fixed turret, using your mouse to aim and fire at waves of incoming enemy ships. Your main goal is to survive as long as possible, protecting your position from an endless assault. You have a primary weapon, and holding down the left mouse button allows your shots to travel further, which is crucial for hitting distant targets. The pacing is relentless; enemies approach from all sides, and the difficulty ramps up steadily as you progress. It feels like a tense, focused test of your aim and reaction speed.
