FAQs
How do I control the turret and fire weapons?
Simply move your mouse or touch the screen to aim - the turret automatically rotates to follow your cursor and fires continuously. Focus on positioning and aiming rather than manual shooting.
What are the most powerful powerups and when should I use them?
Nuke clears all enemies instantly for emergency situations, Black Hole creates a gravity well for crowd control, and Nova provides 360-degree burst fire. Save these for overwhelming waves or boss enemies.
How do shields work and how can I get more?
Shields automatically absorb damage that would destroy your core. Collect blue shield powerups to add shield layers. Each shield protects you from one hit, regardless of damage amount.
What's the difference between enemy types and how should I prioritize them?
Enemies vary by health, speed, and damage. Fast enemies like Wasps and Lancers should be prioritized due to high damage, while Tanks and Titans have high health but move slowly. Learn each type's threat level.
How does the difficulty progression work?
Each difficulty has different starting health, enemy spawn rates, and speed multipliers. As your score increases, spawn rates accelerate and more dangerous enemy types appear more frequently.
Can I combine multiple powerups for stronger effects?
Yes! Most powerups stack and can be combined. For example, combine Rapid Fire with Spread Shot for devastating coverage, or add Homing to Railgun for unstoppable penetration attacks.
What happens when my core health reaches zero?
When your core is destroyed, the game ends and your final score is recorded. Your high score is saved locally for each difficulty mode, allowing you to track improvement over time.
