Controls

The most recently used input device selects the control mode automatically. Gamepad input hides the mouse cursor; keyboard or mouse input restores it.

Keyboard and mouse

• Move: WASD or arrow keys
• Aim: mouse cursor
• Fire: hold the left mouse button
• Orbital Weapon: right mouse button
• Confirm: left mouse button or Enter
• Back/quit: Esc

Gamepad

• Move: left stick or D-pad
• Aim direction: right stick
• Fire: LB or LT
• Orbital Weapon: RB or RT
• Confirm: LB, LT, A/Cross, or Start
• Back/quit: B/Circle or Back/Select

Orbital Weapon

Press the Orbital Weapon control once to deploy it around the ship. Press it again to launch it, and press it once more to recall it. While it is away from the ship, you can alternate between launching and recalling it.

With a mouse, the weapon travels toward the cursor and returns after reaching it. With a gamepad, use the right stick to steer the weapon's direction; it returns after reaching the edge of the playfield. It also returns automatically when its energy runs out.

Common

• Fullscreen: F11 or the title-screen fullscreen icon
• Debug collision display in development builds: F2

Game Modes

• Arcade: Fight through increasingly intense enemy waves and boss battles in a finite run. Defeat the final boss to clear the game.
• Endless: Survive an unending stream of enemies at the selected difficulty. The run continues until all lives are lost.

Scoring

Destroying enemies increases both your score and Tension. Higher Tension raises the value of subsequent kills, but it gradually falls over time. Keep defeating enemies to maintain your momentum and earn larger scores. Reaching score milestones awards extra lives.
