I used to play around with my dad's already old by then Palm (can't remember the model) in the early 2000's.

This game reminded me of Space War

Space War was great! Briefly in high school a few of my friends and I all had Palm OS devices.

I taught myself to crack palm apps and games, and with Space War I modified the strength of my ship. The IR multiplayer had no validation of parameters so I pranked my friends in an IR multiplayer match by one-shotting them all and zooming across the whole map in one turn! Great times.
