The Loop

Mine → Power → Defend.

You lose only when every structure is gone.

mine power defend

Power

Solar makes it. Relay carries it. Everything else spends it.

Thick, bright links carry more.

+60 carries −14

Mining

Miners work every rock in range.

Rocks run dry. Faster flashes = more ore.

+4.0 / s rock depletes

Links

Relays and solars branch. Miners and weapons don't.

Build your network out of relays.

branches ×6 one link only

Building

Out of reach = no power = no progress.

Reach it with a relay and it starts itself. Lost one? Click Show on the “isolated” warning to jump to it.

Balance

Demand over supply slows everything.

Batteries absorb spikes first. Yellow links = that grid is short.

supply demand buffers ok short

Weapons

Beam never misses. Pulser outranges. Missiles splash.

Missiles spend minerals per shot.

steady beam long-range bolts splash costs ore

Threats

Each one punishes a different lazy answer.

Mix your defences.

Fighter weaves Swarmer many Missile outranges lasers, homing shots Exploder rams Ring shielded Mothership boss, fires missiles

Waves

Arrows show where they'll come from.

Late waves arrive from several sides at once.

early — one side wave 13+ — many

Upgrades

More blades, more power, same footprint.

Batteries upgrade once, to 4× storage. Weapons and repair stations pick a path on their first upgrade — and stay on it.

Pulser Paths

Pick one: snipe, shred, or shield.

Aegis stops shooting ships. It shoots down enemy missiles instead and never misses, but drains heavy power recharging after each one. Its upgrades shorten the recharge.

Lance extreme range, heavy slugs Barrage 4 barrels, a wall of bolts Aegis intercepts missiles power spike per intercept

Repair

Drones fly out, patch, and come home.

Hurt drones retreat and recharge on the pad.
