How to Play +100 XP per round

How to Play

Survive waves of enemy ships for as long as you can. Each kill scores 100 × your combo multiplier; the combo climbs with every hit and resets when you take damage.

Controls

  • Left Stick Move the ship
  • Right Stick Aim the cannon
  • R2 / RT Fire (hold for stream)
  • WASD + Mouse Move + aim (keyboard)
  • Space Fire (keyboard)

Objective

  1. 01 Press Start Run to enter the arena with 3 lives.
  2. 02 Steer with the left stick while aiming with the right stick — the cannon tracks your aim.
  3. 03 Hold R2/RT to fire a continuous stream. Red enemy ships close in from the edges.
  4. 04 Survive. Each wave spawns more, faster enemies. Your run ends when all lives are gone.

Pro Tips

  • Keep moving — standing still is the fastest way to get surrounded.
  • The combo multiplier is everything: stay hitless to keep it stacking higher.
  • Aim at the closest enemy cluster and strafe in a wide arc to keep them off your tail.
