How to Play
You fly a ship in your own isolated arena. Enemy wormholes orbit the center — aim your ship and fire powerups into them to attack other players.
Meanwhile, enemies spawn from your wormhole — things your opponents sent you. Destroy them with pulse cannons or dodge them.
- Collect glowing pickups floating in the arena
- Self-applied powerups activate instantly
- Sendable powerups queue up (max 5) — fire with F
- Powerup bullets are physical projectiles — aim carefully!
- Shoot your own wormhole to generate bonus pickups
- Last player alive wins
5-second grace period at match start — no enemies spawn.
