02 · Run upgrades

Upgrade after every boss

Beat a boss and choose one of three upgrades: wingman drones, a recharging shield, chain-blast kills, near-miss energy and more. They stack for the whole run, so every run builds into something different.

  • A maxed-out power-up becomes bonus points

Six bosses, three phases each

Every boss is a three-phase gauntlet of shifting weak points and escalating attacks. Ten grunt types and five elite variants keep each run different, with new enemies unlocking as you clear bosses.
