Omega Race

Omega Race is a top-down space shooter where you pilot a ship that rotates in place, thrusts forward, and fires lasers at waves of enemy craft. You're fighting drone ships, commander ships, two varieties of space mines, and shooting star vessels in an enclosed arena. The arena's edges act as invisible walls—your ship bounces off them, and they flash briefly on impact. Controls split rotation, thrust, and fire across separate inputs, demanding precise maneuvering as threats close in from all angles. The scoring system awards extra lives at specific point thresholds, though arcade operators could adjust these. It's pure reflex-driven combat with no story missions or power-ups mentioned, just escalating enemy patterns in a single bounded space.
