More about this game
Survive a 60-second onslaught in this neon bullet-hell shooter. Your ship auto-fires as you weave through waves of drones, fast scouts, and shielded elites. The difficulty ramps up through specific phases: drones for the first 12 seconds, fast scouts until 25 seconds, and heavy elites until the boss arrives at 41 seconds. Collect power-ups like shields, spread shots, and rapid fire to boost your damage. The run ends if your hull health reaches zero or if you fail to defeat the boss before the 60-second timer runs out.
Tips
- Focus on dodging the neon bullets; your ship auto-fires, so prioritize survival. Enemy bullets deal 8 damage, but colliding with an enemy deals 16 damage.
- Grab the pink spread-shot and gold rapid-fire power-ups to quickly clear out elite escorts. Spread shots reduce individual bullet damage to 11 but hit wider areas.
- When the boss appears, watch the rhythm of its bullet rings to find safe gaps. Boss bullets deal 12 damage, so a 100-point shield power-up is highly valuable here.
FAQ
- How do I heal my ship?
- You cannot heal your base 100 hull health, but you can collect cyan shield power-ups. These give you a 100-point shield that absorbs incoming damage before it hits your hull, taking 18 damage per bullet hit.
- What do the different enemies do?
- Drones are basic enemies with 28 health. Scouts move faster, have 22 health, and fire aimed shots. Elites have 88 health, move slower, and fire wider spreads of bullets. Elites also have a higher chance to drop power-ups.
- How long do weapon upgrades last?
- The pink spread-shot power-up lasts for 10 seconds, giving you a three-way firing pattern. The gold rapid-fire power-up lasts for 9 seconds, significantly increasing your firing speed to help melt heavy targets like elites and the boss.
