Wiki

What’s the goal?

Long sectors: the whole map moves past you (your ship isn’t auto-shoved forward). The camera follows the scroll, not your ship — you maneuver inside a slowly drifting window. You can’t fly past the back of the screen; it’s a soft wall (no hull damage). Content that has scrolled off to the left is gone. Purple nebula wisps float in the corridor. Brown gas forms a jagged ceiling and floor (shmup-style tunnel) and hurts on contact; mystery orbs stay clear of both. Dodge homing mines, grab credits, collect purple orbs for hull, shield, immunity, or blaster upgrades (you start with tier 1; F / Enter / Insert to fire). Bonus score only if an orb rolls an upgrade you already maxed. Reach the orbital station (dock ring) to clear the sector. Ships use your usual skins, drawn sideways.

Hazards & pickups

Mines home toward you; they match the classic cyan body / red spike art. Purple nebula and brown gas (ceiling/floor tunnel) are gaseous hazards (brown is a bit meaner). Shield (from purple orbs) eats damage before hull; after your first shield pickup, score slowly refills shield up to 100% (orbs can still push higher toward 200%). You always have a blaster; orbs upgrade spread/aft. Other orbs repair hull, extend immunity, or raise shield — never a standalone “bonus credits” prize (credits only when that buff is already maxed). 0% hull ends the run.

Controls

WASD or arrow keys to thrust in any direction. Space pauses. F, Enter, or Insert fires the blaster (on from the start; orbs upgrade it). After a sector clear, Space or tap continues. On touch: D-pad for left/right/up/down; extra Up/Down buttons match W/S.

Settings

Controls

WASD or arrows — fly in any direction

Space — pause (or next sector after a clear)

F / Enter / Insert — fire blaster (tier 1 from start; orbs upgrade)

Large mode enlarges the canvas on desktop; restart applies “Start sector” below.

Ship (side view) End-of-sector bosses

On by default: clearing a sector docks at the station, then you enter a separate boss arena before the next sector. Tiers 1–2 after sectors 1–2. Try ?boss=1, ?cheat=raptor, or ?cheats=darius2,raptor on the URL.
