About this game
You have no weapon. You have a guard that orbits your core — and everything attacking you is also your only ammunition. Catch an enemy on your guard and it becomes a bolt fired straight back out, tearing through whatever is behind it. Catch it dead centre, on the white sweet-spot, and you get a PERFECT: a bigger bolt, double combo, and the world slows while the chain reaction plays out.

How to play
Move your mouse or drag your finger to aim the guard around your core — it follows the angle of your pointer, so you can hold your thumb anywhere on the screen. Catch incoming enemies on the guard to deflect them. A deflected enemy becomes a bolt that flies outward and destroys anything it hits. The white tip in the centre of the guard is the PERFECT zone. Time a deflect there for a stronger bolt and double combo. Red armoured enemies bounce off your guard and cannot be deflected — kill them with a ricochet from another enemy instead. Keep your combo alive for a bigger score multiplier. You have three core plates; lose them all and the run ends. Every run is ranked when it ends. Open RANKS from the game over screen or the pause menu to see the global board and your own ten best runs — the one you just finished is highlighted, so you always know which score to beat next. Keyboard: A/D, Q/D or arrow keys to turn. 1/2/3 to pick upgrades. Space to restart. Esc to pause.
