How to play
Use your mouse to navigate your ship across the screen and target the incoming rows of enemies. Your primary objective is to clear all hostile units before they advance too far. Since the enemies move downward periodically, you must prioritize the closest threats. Keep a steady pace of fire and stay mobile to avoid being overwhelmed by the collective movement of the enemy fleet.
Tips for beginners
- Focus on clearing the lowest rows of enemies first to prevent them from reaching your position.
- Keep your mouse movements fluid to transition quickly between targets on opposite sides of the screen.
- Maintain a consistent firing rhythm to manage the enemy's descent effectively.
