Titan Attacks: the fixed-screen alien shooter

Titan Attacks takes the fixed-screen alien shooter and threads an upgrade economy through it, so a hundred short levels accumulate into something with a shape.

Standing in 2026

Still sold

Puppy Games still trades and the game has its own live page on the studio's site, which answered on request on 31 July 2026. One of the few titles on this site whose publisher, product page and commercial availability all survived.

What it was

Written from the record this site kept at the time, and from what can be checked today.

The moment-to-moment game is the oldest one there is: aliens above, a ship below, movement on one axis. What changes it is that shooting things pays, and the money buys shields, guns and speed between waves. The result is that a run has a trajectory — the early levels are about survival on a bare ship and the late ones are about whether the choices made two hundred aliens ago were the right ones.

The listing published here recorded a hundred levels, five boss ships and an online score table. That last detail dates it precisely: a persistent leaderboard was still a feature worth advertising in 2007, and it is one of the few things on this site that a modern player would simply expect.

This is also the healthiest entry in the whole audit. The studio is still trading, the game still has its own page on the studio's own domain, and the page answered a direct request. Nothing about that was guaranteed — most of the publishers on this site cannot say the same.

The distribution story is the reason this entry reads differently from the rest. The studio sold directly and also placed its catalogue where other people could list it, so there has always been more than one route to the game. Nothing about that was inevitable — most studios in this archive sold from one address only, and when the address went there was no second route to fall back on.

The commercial arrangement is the reason this entry reads differently from the others. The studio sold from its own site and also placed its catalogue where third parties could list it, so there was never a single point of failure. Most publishers in this archive sold from one address only, and when that address stopped answering there was no second route left.

Established: publisher, the level and boss counts as advertised at the time, the online score table, and current availability confirmed against the studio's own product page. Not established: the release year, which the listing published here did not carry, so this entry does not assert one.

Titan Attacks: questions

Answers are limited to what the record and a direct check support.

Is Titan Attacks still available?

Yes. Puppy Games continues to trade and the game retains its own page on the studio's site, verified by direct request on 31 July 2026.

What does the upgrade system change about a fixed-screen shooter?

It gives a run a shape. Because bounty accumulates and is spent between waves, later levels test earlier decisions rather than only testing reflexes.

How many levels does Titan Attacks have?

The page this site carried in 2007 recorded one hundred levels and five boss ships, along with an online high-score table.

What year was Titan Attacks released?

Not established here. The page this archive holds is dated August 2007, which sets an upper bound on the release rather than fixing it.

Why is this the healthiest entry in the archive?

Because all three things that normally fail survived: the studio still trades, the domain still answers, and the game retains its own product page rather than only a redirect to a storefront.
