A walkthrough of the rules
- Start and steer.
- Hold Fire.
- Avoid enemy projectiles.
- Clear the final tougher wave to win.
Controls
Pointer/arrow movement and held Fire. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
Move sideways between incoming shots. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.

Post-hit protection is temporary. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
