From the cockpit

Arcade chaos, native on Linux

A crisp 16:9 vector playground: triangle ships, pixel aliens, power-ups, gamepads, and a looping soundtrack — built in C++ with SFML.

Main menu showing Standard, Virus, Minigames, and Scoreboard
Mode select — Standard dogfights, Virus hijacks, unlockable minigames, online scoreboard.
Gameplay with green triangle ship firing at invaders
Wave one of Standard mode — keep the bottom clear and the score climbing.

Quick start

One command, then play

Controller optional. Keyboard WASD + Space still works. Online boards need a network for submit/fetch only. Version 1.2.1.
