On this page it lives in the arcade section, runs entirely inside the browser, and is built around a quick loop with portrait orientation that translates particularly well to phones.
How to Play
The game is built for portrait, so the controls and HUD feel most natural on a phone held upright; on desktop, narrowing your browser window or zooming in usually gives a better fit. Desktop players typically use the keyboard arrows or WASD plus the mouse for any pointing or aiming; touch devices rely on the on-screen controls the game surfaces during the first round. Your underlying goal is to set a high score before your last life runs out, so keep that in mind from the first attempt.
Tips & Tricks
- Most arcade games hide a difficulty ramp at fixed score thresholds; brace mentally when you cross one.
- Smaller controlled movements beat large reactive ones, especially in the late game.
- Look slightly ahead of your character, not directly at it — anticipation buys you reaction time.
- If a multiplier exists, treat it as the real score and the raw point counter as the secondary metric.
- Memorising the first 30 seconds of any arcade game cuts your early deaths to almost zero.
