A one-thumb space shooter. Fly through a wrap-around field of crystal rocks while your turret aims and fires on its own. Big rocks split into faster shards, chains multiply your score and gold shards charge a screen-clearing nova.

How to play

Drag anywhere to steer (it works like a trackpad, so your thumb never hides the ship). Keyboard: arrows or WASD. Firing is automatic. Esc or P pauses.

New in v1.0

First release.

How to play

You pilot a small ship in a field of drifting crystal rocks. The field wraps: a rock that leaves one edge comes back on the other. Your turret picks the nearest target, leads it and fires on its own, so the whole game is about where you fly.

  • Drag anywhere on the screen to move. The ship follows your thumb's movement, not its position.
  • Big rocks take three hits and split into two medium rocks, which split into two small ones. Each split flies faster than its parent.
  • Small rocks drop gold shards. Collect them to charge the nova meter under your score. When it fills, a nova blast shatters everything nearby.
  • From wave 2 a saucer crosses the field and fires at you. Shoot it for 400 points and a handful of shards.
  • You have three shields. Losing one gives you a moment of invulnerability.

Scoring

Small rocks are worth 100, medium 50, large 20. Destroy rocks in quick succession to build a chain: every four quick kills raise the multiplier, up to ×8. Clearing a wave pays 250 × the wave number.

Tips

  • Stay near the middle. The turret has limited range and turn speed, so a ship in a corner shoots less and gets cornered by wrapped rocks.
  • Break big rocks early, before the field fills with fast fragments.
  • Save your nova charge for the moment a wave closes in by flying toward the shards.

FAQ

Do I need to aim? No. The turret aims and fires automatically. You only steer.

Does it work on a phone? Yes. It was designed for one thumb in portrait, and it also plays with a keyboard on desktop.
