The core loop
Easy to grasp, hard to master. Four beats you'll repeat every run.
Survive
Read each pattern and weave through the bullets. Dodge-roll when it gets tight.
Destroy
Hold fire, clear waves, and rack up the score multiplier.
Limit Break
Charge by dealing and taking hits, then detonate to turn the tide.
Clear & Climb
Beat the stage, bank your clear bonus, and submit to the leaderboard.
Difficulty matters
Baby, Normal and Crazy genuinely change the fight: easier modes hit softer and loot more, but the leaderboard only awards a full score on Crazy. Adjustable game speed lets you slow things down to learn, or crank it up for the real arcade rush.
Grab the good, dodge the bad
Downed enemies drop pickups that drift toward you. Fly over the ones that help, and steer clear of the traps.
Repair
Patches your hull and restores a chunk of health.
Shield Cell
Recharges your Power Shield so you can flame-aura again sooner.
Nuke
Reloads a screen-clearing nuke charge. Bank it for a swarm.
Bomb
Tops up a homing bomb salvo for your fourth weapon mode.
Coolant
Instantly cools an overheated weapon so you can keep firing.
Nuclear Strike
Detonates a screen-wide blast that wipes every enemy and asteroid on screen.
Stun TRAP
Locks your controls for two seconds. Do not touch it.
Poison TRAP
Drains your health steadily over five seconds.
Smoke TRAP
Clouds the screen for five seconds and hides incoming fire.
