Description

You are the reactor core. Space rushes past and enemies close in from every direction while you hold the center: click for pulse waves, hold for seeker drones, pull in the loot with the tractor beam. Upgrade your ship, unlock six blueprint weapons, pick Overload cards and outlast the flagships.

Features

  • Mouse only. Click: a pulse wave hits everything nearby. Hold: seeker drones hunt the enemy. Right-click or Space: the tractor beam pulls in the loot.
  • The Overload. Kills charge it. When it fills, the run stands still and offers three cards; the one you take changes how this run plays. 24 cards in all, some appear only once you hold the two they build on.
  • Six blueprint weapons. Elite enemies carry blueprint fragments for the Ion Beam, Gravity Well, Nova Burst, Shield Drones, Plasma Lance and Temporal Rift.
  • Eight sectors, six flagships. The Drift Colossus, Fire Admiral, Bulwark Bastion, Brood Queen, Herald Prime and Shard Warden each fight in their own way; the Void Leviathan holds the sectors between and beyond.
  • The daily flight. Once a day a flight that is the same for everyone, new at 00:00 UTC. The first attempt counts; a result card shows one box per wave, ready to share.
  • Upgrades between runs. Collect Scrap, Plasma and Cores, and upgrade Hull, Shields, Reactor Output, Propulsion and Sensor Range; every run makes you stronger.
  • Sound and music made by the game. Every sound and the music are synthesized in code while you play. The game ships no audio files.
  • Offline, or with an account. The game runs fully offline. An optional account (e-mail) carries progress between devices and puts runs on the leaderboard.
