Return Fire

No weapon, send it back

A machine army rings your core and opens fire, and you are never given a gun. You get a shield on an orbit and one job: angle it. Reflection is real, the angle you present decides where a shot goes, and the speed of your swipe rides along with it, so a hard flick returns a round faster and hotter than it arrived.

How to play

  1. 1Drag anywhere to swing your shield around the core.
  2. 2Angle it to send incoming fire back into whatever shot it, swipe hard for more return speed.
  3. 3Parry within a hair of impact for a PERFECT: freeze-frame, bullet-time, 2.5x damage.
