A browser shmup that mixes 90s arcade-style vertical shooting with wave-based roguelike progression. Pick one of six fighters, survive timed waves and four multi-phase bosses, and upgrade between waves by buying, locking, rerolling and merging weapon pods. Free to play on desktop and mobile.

Every wave runs on a timer. Enemies drop scrap, which is both money and XP; when the clock hits zero you land in the hangar to level up, then buy, lock, reroll or sell weapon pods and items. Equip pods of the same class for set bonuses and merge duplicates into higher tiers. Bosses arrive on waves 5, 10, 15 and 20, and endless mode opens after the final wave.
