Recruit up to 6 crew members — each class has unique weapons, stats, and a special ability on a cooldown.

Your crew auto-battles each wave. You have 3 lives per run. Crew gains XP and levels up, choosing a perk bonus at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20.

8 upgrades in the bottom bar — buy with credits, scrap, energy and data. All upgrades have many levels, costs scale each time.

Warning: losing to the freighter in a Red Alert wipes ALL your upgrades instantly.

4 sectors, 30–75 waves each. Every 10 waves a boss spawns — defeat it to pick a warp path that changes crew HP, loot, and next-wave difficulty. 8 paths available each time.

Clearing all 4 sectors triggers the Prestige screen.

Auto-saves every 30s, on every wave clear, and on every upgrade purchase. Use 💾 to save manually. Your run loads automatically on your next visit.

Charges over 36s. Click 🚀 PHOTON then click an enemy for a massive hit + splash.

Starts at 18–26% HP damage — fairly weak. Each prestige adds +25% damage and -2s cooldown. By Prestige 7 it's a one-shot weapon.

Random event — 15% chance in S1, up to 30% in S4. Screen goes red, 5-second alarm sounds, then a massive freighter + 4 escorts arrive.

Win: huge loot + permanent crew bonus + 5s victory shield next wave.
Lose: all upgrades wiped.

Rebirth — lose all 3 lives and reset. Permanent ATK, DEF, HP bonuses carry forward based on progress. Each rebirth stacks.
