How to Play

Take control of a cybernetic soldier flying through side-scrolling stages to defeat the alien forces invading Earth. You can fly freely in all directions while the screen auto-scrolls. Use your primary weapon to shoot enemies and navigate around environmental hazards. You are accompanied by two orbiting gun satellites that fire automatically in the direction you aim. Pressing the lock button allows you to freeze the positioning of these satellites, focusing your fire forward, backward, or in a wide spread to handle enemies approaching from different angles.

Collect power-ups dropped by defeated enemies to upgrade your weapon from a standard laser to a wide beam, a powerful bomb, or a rapid-fire machine gun. During tense boss battles and crowded sections, keep moving to avoid enemy projectiles while positioning your locked satellites to continuously damage targets. Prioritize destroying enemy generators and larger threats quickly before they overwhelm the screen.

Browser controls and troubleshooting

If the keyboard does not respond, click the game screen first and check the actual key mappings in the player controls. Arrow keys scrolling the page can mean the game does not have input focus.

On a phone, check whether the player provides touch buttons. Try landscape or fullscreen if the controls are too small. After connecting a gamepad, press a button with the game focused and check whether the player recognizes it.

For a black screen or a stalled load, wait briefly before using Reload player or Browse games in the embedded player or play page. Reloading restarts the player and may lose unsaved progress. If no save option is available, do not rely on refreshing to preserve progress.
