HOW TO PLAY
Drag anywhere on the game to fly; your ship follows your finger without hiding under it. It fires on its own. On a computer, move the mouse or use the arrow keys.
WEAPONS (TAP OR PRESS 1–4)
- Blaster: fast twin bolts. Good all-rounder.
- Spread: a shotgun cone. Huge damage up close, short range.
- Laser: a beam that cuts through every alien in a line. Watch the heat bar: let it overheat and it shuts off until it cools.
- Rockets: slow but homing, with splash damage. Great against swarms.
Grab a gold P to power up the weapon you are holding (up to level 3), a green + to repair, and a blue shield to absorb one hit.
SHIPS
- Viper: the fastest ship, but only 3 hull points.
- Warden: 5 hull points and 25% more damage. Unlocks at 150 total kills.
- Titan: 7 hull points, 45% more damage, starts with a shield. Unlocks at 400 total kills.
THE ALIENS
- Greys drift side to side and drop slow shots (green blood).
- Swarmers are fragile bugs that dive straight at you (green blood).
- Void Squids swim in waves and spit three-way ink (blue blood).
- Gloops are tough slimes that split in two when popped (green blood).
- Overminds teleport and fire aimed bolts (blue blood).
- Every fifth wave the Hive Queen arrives, with three attack patterns and her own swarm.
AIM FOR THE BODY PARTS
Aliens don't die in one shot. Every limb, eye and tentacle has its own health, and shooting it off weakens the alien: a grey without its gun arm can't shoot, a grey that loses its hover-disc or a swarmer that loses a wing falls out of the sky, a squid slows down with every tentacle and sprays wildly once both eyes are gone, and an Overmind can't teleport without its tentacles. Shatter an Overmind's glass dome to reach the brain. Destroy the head or core to finish one off; headshots score 50% more. The Hive Queen's armour only lets part of your damage through, so aim for her eye, and tear off her side pods to stop two of her attacks.
Kill aliens quickly to build a combo of up to ×4 points. Your best score, best wave and total kills are saved on your device.
