Impulse: Space Combat
A downloadable game for Windows
Impulse: Space Combat is a first person, realistic, action / survival game. In Impulse, physics play a major role in determining which team will be left standing. All movement and shooting, whether by the player or Impulse's ruthless AI pilots, is controlled using physics. When your ship is hit with a projectile you will feel the impact! In survival mode, harvest the asteroid field's metal resource to build your own fleet of fighters and turrets to defend against the next wave!
All controls are listed in the manual menu, or can be learned by playing the tutorial

Recommended Computer Specs:
Currently unknown (I am working on that), but should run great on the average computer. While the graphics are minimalist, significantly increasing the number of asteroids in a small field can definitely cause lag.
