  • Starting the Game
    • Select low on the screen and move side to side to start the game.
      • Your web browser automatically saves your game progress including your all-time high score, your upgrade levels, and your coin savings.
    • The top of the welcome screen shows your coin savings and has a sound control button in the upper right corner.
    • In the middle of the welcome screen are the 4 upgrade buttons. They show your current level for each and how many coins it costs to purchase the next upgrade.
    • The lower left of the welcome screen has a crown near a number, where the number indicates your all-time high score.
  • Game Controls
    • Desktop
      • Tap your mouse left click button over the bottom portion of the screen and move your mouse left or right to evade enemies and shoot at the enemies.
      • Your cannon automatically repeatedly fires while you have the screen selected.

    • Controls & indicators
      • Your health is shown in the meter at the top center of the screen.
      • Directly under your health your current score is shown.
      • Each neon fighter has a number in it which indicates how many shots it will take to defeat.

      • The welcome screen shows your all-time high score in the lower left & how much you have upgraded each of your 4 upgrade options.
  • Game Play
    • Basics
      • Neon enemies appear periodically on the screen.
        • A black hole will open up where the enemies will enter. Shoot at that even before the enemies appear.
        • Shoot your cannon upward at the bouncing neon enemies while avoiding getting hit by them.
        • While they are high on the screen shoot & as they approach you near the bottom of the screen evade them.
      • Each enemy has a number in the middle of it which indicates how many times you must hit it to destroy it.
        • Early enemies tend to have a low count of around 1 to 3. As you advance through the game enemies can have counts going up into the twenties or thirties, making them much harder to destroy.
        • The red and pink enemies break apart into 2 orange and green enemies when destroyed.
        • When an enemy is destroyed it drops blue coins which you can pick up to purchase upgrades.
      • When you perish you can use the collected coins to upgrade your cannon.
    • Upgrades
      • The blue pellets along the bottom you collect can be used to purchase upgrades.
        • You can upgrade your fire rate, damage, health, and PET.
        • Each upgrade adds 5% to the ugraded attribute.
        • Upgrade costs increase by roughly 50% on each level for each attribute. The first upgrade costs 5, then the scale goes like this: 7, 10, 15, 23, 35, 54, 83, 128, 198, 306, 474, 734, 1,137, 1,762, 2,731 etc.
      • PET is a side cannon which sits near your main cannon and fires along with it.
        • The PET does not get hit & does not take damage, but it dramatically increases your shot output while giving you a wider cross-section to shoot enemies.
        • At level 1 upgrade you get the right-side PET & at level 12 upgrade you get the left-side PET, which is effectively like shooting 3 cannons at once.
    • Scoring
      • While later enemies take more hits to destroy, each enemy you defeat is worth a fixed score amount based on the enemy type.
        • Orange enemies are worth 2 points each.
        • Green enemies are worth 4 points each.
        • Yellow enemies are worth 10 points each.
        • Pink enemies are worth 8 points each (plus the 4 points from the 2 orange enemies they spawn when defeated).
        • Red enemies are worth 20 points each (plus the 8 points from the 2 green enemies they spawn when defeated).
    • Tips
      • Upgrade your PET and firing frequency first as this is a game where the best defense is a strong offense.
      • You can hide near the left and right walls to minimize the odds of getting hit when the field is crowded.
      • When you destroy the red and pink neon fighters they turn into 2 orange and green fighters each. Anticipate that when they are close to zero hits left.
      • When you are fighting a crowded field try to shoot opportunistically at the enemies with lower numerical ratings to clear them before shooting the enemies which either have a high numerical rating or will split again when shot.
      • If an enemy has a number in the teens or higher in its center expect it to take at least one of two evasions before you can shoot it enough times to defeat it.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for players who like cannonball shooter games.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
