Uber Space Shooter is a 2007 shooter Flash game developed by Jacob Grahn.
Announced that July, he originally planned to release it on August 1st before delaying it several months.[1][2]
The last in the Uber series, it was mostly well-received, but the least successful popularity-wise.[3] The Swedish magazine PC för Alla featured it in their "25 crazy sites that liven things up" article.[4]
Gameplay[]
Players pilot a spaceship on a circular field with the objective of destroying the Evil Circular Space Dimension. They're armed with 3 forms of attack:
- Standard bullets
- Smaller, less damaging rapid fire pellets
- Powerful, but slow torpedoes
A purple bar in the bottom left corner indicates how often the ship can fire, with it depleting quicker the more frequently players shoot. Two other bars show the ship's shield and life statuses.
The game's split into 10 levels; most containing unique enemies, although players stay on the same screen. Once the final one is reached, the circular object at the center of the map throughout the game must be fought.

Trivia[]
- The final boss' laugh was later used as the sound for sad blocks in the Platform Racing series.
- The mines in the fifth level are the same ones from Jiggmin's game of the same name.
- This is the only Uber game not to use the Rogue Hero Expanded font.
- Due to a scaling error, ships can't pass through the small wall gaps in the final level if players are playing the game in fullscreen.
- This was Jiggmin's first game programmed in ActionScript 3 instead of ActionScript 2.
