Pulsar: Neon Swarm

«Pulsar: Neon Swarm» is a vertical space shooter drawn entirely in neon vector graphics. You fly the last surviving fighter against a swarm that gets meaner every wave. Three enemy types behave differently: Needles aim straight at you, Wedges cover an area with spread volleys, Whirls seed the screen with bursts in every direction. Every fifth wave brings the Brood — a boss whose gun modules can be shot off one by one, and every module you destroy visibly lowers the pressure. Disarm it first or charge straight in: your call. Your weapon grows from 1 to 5 barrels, but every hit you take knocks a level off. The better you play, the more an error costs. Dying does not take away what you earned: cores stay with you, and between runs the hangar sells permanent upgrades — hull, reactor, shield, magnet, cooling and luck. Fully upgraded, you get about twice as far. One-finger controls, firing is automatic.
