Ready when you are

Build a weapon storm, survive a five-minute 3D arena run, defeat OMEGA, and push your drone into Endless mode.

About the game

Survive five minutes. Then see how far the build can go.

Pilot a compact combat drone through a hostile 3D arena where movement is your only manual weapon. Your arsenal aims automatically while you dodge enemy formations, collect energy, and choose upgrades that turn simple shots into a screen-filling combat build. Four escalating bosses guard the path to OMEGA. Destroy the final core at five minutes, then continue into an increasingly dangerous Endless cycle.

How to play

  1. Move with WASD or the arrow keys. On touch devices, drag the virtual joystick.
  2. Let the drone aim and fire automatically while you steer through open space.
  3. Collect energy and choose one upgrade whenever the drone levels up.
  4. Dodge warning zones, defeat four escalating bosses, and destroy OMEGA at five minutes.
  5. Press P or use the pause button whenever you need to stop the run.

Play better

  • Keep moving: positioning is your main manual weapon while the arsenal handles targeting.
  • Collect energy when a lane is safe, then choose upgrades that reinforce your strongest weapons.
  • Watch boss warning zones and move early instead of waiting for an attack to land.
  • After destroying OMEGA, continue into Endless mode to test how long the build can survive.

Do I need to aim or fire?

Can I play on a phone or tablet?
