Ether War is an intense space shooter with great visuals and a plethora of particle effects. You must destroy spherical enemies and the red mothership that spawns them, while defending your space station. Your ship is weak at first so you have to collect ether (the small green orbs released by destroyed enemies) and purchase upgrades. Allied ships will help you carry out your mission. Move with the arrows and aim/shoot with the mouse. Press P to pause the game and view the upgrades menu.
