Play Big Bang Online

Big Bang is one of those arcade games that hooks you in the first 30 seconds—you're dodging asteroids, blasting enemy ships, and trying not to panic when the screen fills up with neon explosions. The controls are simple (thankfully), but things get chaotic fast. I kept crashing into debris at first because I underestimated how slippery your ship feels when you're boosting through asteroid fields.

What I like is how the game doesn't just throw mindless action at you—you actually have to think about when to use your limited special attacks. The gravity wells near black holes will wreck you if you're careless, but they can also pull enemies into your line of fire. The pixel-art space backgrounds are gorgeous, especially when everything lights up during a chain reaction of explosions.

It's got that perfect arcade balance where each run feels winnable, but you'll definitely curse a few times before you get the hang of it.
