A fixed-screen shooter where the enemy isn't a spawn pool, it's a hanging hive whose every cell holds up the ones beneath it.

How to play
Pilot a ship along the bottom of the screen and shoot up into a connected mass of alien cells. The hive is a structure: clear the cells underneath one and it loses its anchor, so smart shots can drop whole chunks at once. Survive the descent and dismantle the swarm before it reaches you.
Target the cells holding up a cluster to make large sections fall away.
Watch the whole formation creep lower as the round goes on, clear it before it lands.
Chain structural collapses for faster, more efficient runs.
Game modes
Daily, a fixed seeded hive that everyone faces the same day.
Practice, endless seeded runs to sharpen your aim and routing.
Controls
Desktop: Left/Right arrow keys to move, click or tap to fire.
Phone & tablet: drag to steer and tap to shoot, pointer controls are fully supported.
Tips & strategy
Don't pick the swarm apart cell by cell, find the support that drops a dozen at once.
Keep moving; a stationary ship is an easy target as the hive descends.
Read the structure before firing so each shot sets up the next collapse.
