How the game works
Pilot a small ship through a luminous circular survival arena.
Your goal
Survive each wave, destroy incoming enemies, and protect the center of the arena.
How to play
- Start a new game from the canvas menu.
- Move around the arena while aiming at incoming enemies.
- Use collected power-ups and protect your remaining health.
Controls
Desktop
Move with W/A/S/D or arrow keys, aim with the mouse, and click to fire.
Mobile
The original game requires a keyboard and mouse; mobile-only players should choose another title.
Rules & scoring
- Enemies arrive in escalating waves around the circular arena.
- Contact and enemy fire reduce health.
- Destroyed enemies and collected power-ups improve the run.
Enemy hits and wave progress add to the score. Local high scores can be cleared from the options menu.
Useful tactics
- Keep moving around the outer edge rather than backing into the center.
- Sweep the pointer ahead of your movement path.
- Save open space for later waves when enemy density rises.
