From the README

A top-down arcade shooter. Break the incoming fleet, chain combos, and grab multi-shot, shield, speed, and the rare nuke. Three lives. Auto-fire is always on.

Open the title screen and hit Play. The ship fires on its own — your job is to stay alive, pick up drops, and ride the combo as waves escalate.

The arena is a fixed 390×844 playfield, letterboxed on wider screens so a phone and a laptop share one field. High scores are a shared top-8 board (saved on the server) plus a local cache. A top-8 run earns a three-letter tag.

Play together opens a private 2-player room.
