What is this game?

Pilot a small fighter through dense pixel-art enemy formations and varied shooting patterns. The challenge lies in recognizing safe gaps, tracking bosses and committing to fast decisions under pressure.

Where the AI fits

The maker credits AI-assisted programming, graphics and audio in this original jam submission. Enemy bullets are hand-authored attack patterns, not generative responses.

How to get started

Open the original author page and select Run game, or use its embedded HTML5 player.

Controls and interaction

Move with arrow keys, WASD or a gamepad stick; shots are automatic. Use Z for barrier, C to dash and X to slow down.

Before you open the tab

Fast bullet patterns and flashing effects can be difficult or uncomfortable. An end-to-end game session was not performed.
