How the game works
Goal
You control a spaceship in a retro arcade arena. Your objective is simple: survive waves of incoming dinosaurs and score as many points as you can.
Gameplay loop
- Move your spaceship to dodge dinosaurs and hazards.
- Shoot dinosaurs to earn points and clear the screen.
- Use your shield to survive tight moments.
- Use a bomb when the screen is crowded (it clears all dinosaurs).
The difficulty increases over time as more dinosaurs appear.
