🌀 ORBITAL WORMHOLE MECHANICS

Each pilot commands an orbital wormhole tethered to their realm. Wormholes continuously revolve along the outer orbit.

âš¡ EXTRACTING POWERUPS

Continually shoot opponent wormholes with your pulse cannons. Delivering sustained damage destabilizes their event horizon, ejecting fresh powerup capsules into the arena!

🚀 TRANSMITTING HAZARDS

Collect offensive powerups, line up your sights, and press [F] to launch the projectile into the opponent's wormhole. Once absorbed, the hazard warps directly into their arena to attack them!

GRAVITATIONAL VORTEX: Projectiles and powerup capsules entering near a wormhole are naturally pulled into the singularity by its gravitational field.

GHOST-PUD PUNTING: Wandering Ghost-Puds can be shot and punted across the arena with your lasers. Knocking them into an opponent's wormhole warps them to that opponent!

GUN GUN UPGRADE

Adds twin side pulse lasers and unlocks devastating triple spread fire.

THRUST THRUST UPGRADE

Boosts engine acceleration and increases maximum cruising speed.

RETROS RETROS (INERTIAL BRAKING)

Equips reverse thruster damping for pinpoint drift control and sharp combat turns.

SHIELD INVULNERABILITY SHIELD

Grants 8 seconds of absolute invincibility. Absorbs heavy collisions, lasers, and nuclear blasts.

ZAP SCREEN ZAP DISCHARGE

Emits an arena-wide electrical discharge that instantly obliterates all enemy hazards and mines.

+HP EXTRA HEALTH REPAIR

Instantly repairs armor and hull damage (+75 HP).

HS HEAT SEEKER

High-velocity tracking missiles that lock onto enemy ship thermal signatures.

TURRET WORMHOLE TURRET

Heavy perimeter battery defending the wormhole orbit with laser barrages.

MINES WORMHOLE MINES

Deploys a radial starburst of lethal proximity mines around the wormhole.

UFO UFO INTERCEPTOR

Agile high-speed hunter that fires 3-way missile spreads at enemy fighters.

INFLATOR INFLATOR

Expanding cosmic mass that continuously swells and splits into mini-inflators when shot.

MINELAYER MINELAYER

Patrols the arena dropping dense clusters of explosive proximity mines.

GUNSHIP GUNSHIP CORVETTE

Heavy assault boat equipped with dual 360-degree automated tracking turrets.

SCARAB SCARAB SCAVENGER

Agile scavenger that races across space to steal and destroy floating powerups!

NUKE THERMONUCLEAR NUKE

Timed thermonuclear bomb. Detonates with an arena-engulfing shockwave.

CRAWLER WALLCRAWLER SLED

Mechanical turret sled that clamps to boundary walls and fires laser volleys.

BEAM SWEEPING BEAM

Rotating 10-line vector laser array sweeping from the wormhole across the arena.

EMP EMP SCRAMBLER

Detonates with an electromagnetic pulse that scrambles ship flight avionics.

GHOST GHOST-PUD

Indestructible wandering entity that reflects weapons fire and can be punted into wormholes.

ARTILLERY HEAVY ARTILLERY

Armored mobile siege turret launching high-damage explosive mortar shells.

1. THE TANK (HEAVY ASSAULT)

Formidable 280 HP hull and heavy starting weapon systems. Built for direct dogfighting.

2. THE WING (BALANCED INTERCEPTOR)

Balanced agility and armor (240 HP). Smaller target profile with responsive handling.

3. THE SQUID (LIGHT AGILITY RACER)

Hyper-fast thrusters and extreme turn rate (200 HP). Designed for rapid powerup harvesting.

4. THE RABBIT (TRACKING CANNON CORVETTE)

Sacrifices armor (180 HP) for automated dual tracking cannons that lock onto nearby targets.

5. THE TURTLE (HEAVY SIEGE CANNON)

Press [C] / [V] / [SHIFT] to unleash the 360° Turtle Cannon blast, clearing visible targets.

6. THE FLASH (HYBRID SHAPESHIFTER)

Press [C] / [V] / [SHIFT] to transform instantly between Tank (heavy armor) and Squid (hyper speed) modes.

7. THE HUNTER (MISSILE CORVETTE)

Press [C] / [V] / [SHIFT] to deploy an array of 17 circling Piranha homing missiles.

8. THE FLAGSHIP (COMMAND DREADNOUGHT)

Press [C] / [V] / [SHIFT] to activate the A/R Gravity Unit: pulls powerups in and pushes threats away!

âš¡ OPENING GAMEPLAY

Immediately target the opponent's wormhole with primary lasers to spawn powerups right away. Upgraded guns eject powerups even faster.

🎒 INVENTORY CAPACITY

Your fighter holds a maximum of 5 stored hazards in the top tray. Shoot them into wormholes using [F] promptly to overwhelm your opponent.

🛡 COUNTERMEASURES

Save ZAP attacks and Invulnerability Shields when opponents send Nukes, Sweeping Beams, or massive HeatSeeker swarms.

👻 PUNTING GHOST-PUDS

Use your lasers to push wandering Ghost-Puds into enemy wormholes to turn an indestructible hazard against your opponent!
