What the score measures

The draw is neon cyan and magenta on a dark well, plus a perimeter bar that tells you the truth. Keyboard rotate-and-lead is the precision tool. Touch aim in the lower third is fair if you keep the fire zone from fighting the EMP button. Wave toasts and combo pops are loud enough without covering the ring. It will not replace a dedicated vector PCB with two-player duels. It will replace the five-minute tab you meant to close.

How to push a personal best

Lead. Do not fire where the rock is; fire where the heading says it will be. Spend lasers on close splits and homing on far singles. Save EMP for a full sky, not a single stray. Far snipes are the score engine — greed a long shot when the ring is healthy. Command probes are tanky; kite with flak, do not panic-EMP unless the bar is already low. Continues are a tap redeploy, not a rewarded extra life. Waves are the trophy; leftover energy is how calm you were.
