What Space Tripper is

Space Tripper is a shooter game developed by PomPom Games and released in 2001. It is available on iOS, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Space Tripper brings you the very best in retro arcade gaming. No story, No background, No plot and No friends. It's just blast or be blasted. Inspired by Williams arcade classic, Defender, Space Tripper delivers probably the most furious shoot 'em-up of the modern era, combined with state of the art graphics. If you like your video games tough, then this is for you. Everything you need comes included. A fast, highly manoeuvrable craft. Enough gun to take out the universe. Absolutely loads of enemies to obliterate, and some seriously mean bosses. Nothing else comes close for that classic arcade experience.
