Gameplay

Damage
Your ship can take a beating, but it isn’t indestructible. If you take too many hits, it will tear the ship apart.

Score
Exhaust your opponent’s fleet to win the battle – First to 10 wins!

Central Star
A collapsing star that is constantly pulling you in. You can use it for a gravity boost, but don’t get too close.


Weapons and Power Ups

Hyperdrive
Enter hyperspace to escape danger, but beware, you’ll never know where your re-entry might be.


Missiles
Your ships default weapon. Collect powerups to upgrade your missiles and bolster their firepower.



Homing Missiles
Track and follow enemy players, and are extremely difficult to avoid - for those who cant aim.


Cluster Missiles (Scattered)
Launches missiles in all directions, in case you missed the first shot.


Cluster Missiles (Focused)
Tightens the spread, for targeted attacks.


Matryoshka Missiles ™
Recursive missiles that branch off in all directions, for a wide area of effect (and they look cool too).
