Progressive Wave Shooter Engine Game System
Welcome to our exciting 2D shooting game! With our wave system, you will face enemies that get more and more difficult, try to reach the sixth wave.
Movement Mechanics
You have two action button options to choose from:
- Special laser blast that destroys everything in front of it, regardless of the number of enemies and enemy projectiles, and that can be used once per wave (or more, depending on the upgrade used)
- Missiles that can become guided.
The movement of the scenery indicates the speed of our aerial battery.
Infinite Upgrades
And it's not just about action and survival! After each wave, you'll have the chance to choose from a semi-random selection of three power cards to unlock upgrades and become far more powerful than you ever dreamed. The builds will be built with each victory and will vary from game to game in a beautiful roguelike style.
Permanent Upgrades.
Enemies can also drop permanent tech drops, which you can use to unlock additional upgrades and make you a true titan. The higher the difficulty of your game, the higher the chance of dropping alien technology, always, from the third wave of enemies.
Waste no more time and come join this thrilling shooting and survival journey today! Download now and start fighting!
