More about this game

Take command of a vanguard starship to secure a deep-space sector. Your goal is to survive and destroy three waves of enemy formations, culminating in a boss fight. Your ship fires automatically, so you must focus on dodging incoming lasers and positioning yourself to hit enemies. Defeating enemies quickly builds a combo multiplier up to 8x for higher scores. The run ends if your hull reaches zero or if you successfully destroy the command ship in wave three.

Tips

  • Destroy enemies quickly to build your combo multiplier up to 8x. You only have 3 seconds between kills before the combo resets to 1x.
  • Watch out for green energy drops from destroyed enemies. They have a 30 percent chance to drop, restore 1 hull point, and grant 100 bonus points.
  • The boss in wave 3 fires faster and has much more health, so focus heavily on evasion while chipping away at its hull.

FAQ

How many waves are in the game?
There are exactly three waves. The first wave features six scouts, the second has four gunners and four scouts, and the final wave introduces the boss.
How do I heal my starship?
Regular enemies have a 30 percent chance to drop an energy cell when destroyed. Catching this drop restores 1 point to your hull, up to your maximum of 6.
How does the combo scoring system work?
Each enemy you destroy adds 0.25 to your combo multiplier, capping at a maximum of 8x. You must destroy another enemy within 3 seconds, or the multiplier resets.
