A vertical shoot-'em-up built on charge, you and every bullet are light or dark, you absorb your own colour, and the opposite kills.
Was this fun?
How to play
Your ship carries a polarity, light or dark, and so does every incoming bullet. Bullets that match your charge are harmlessly absorbed and stored, while bullets of the opposite charge destroy you. Your own shots deal double damage to the opposite colour, and you can flip polarity at will to survive shifting waves, then unleash a stored charge to clear the screen.
Match your polarity to incoming fire to absorb it; opposite-charge bullets are lethal.
Shots do extra damage to enemies of the opposite charge, flip to hit hard.
Bank absorbed energy and discharge it to wipe out a dense barrage.
Game modes
Daily, a seeded run shared by every player that day.
Endless, survive escalating waves for as long as you can.
Controls
Desktop: Arrow keys or WASD to fly, Space to flip polarity and fire.
Phone & tablet: drag to move and tap to flip, pointer controls are supported.
Tips & strategy
Stay the colour of the thickest stream so most of the screen is absorbable, not deadly.
Flip just before a wave changes colour rather than reacting late.
Save your discharge for the moment the screen is most crowded for the biggest clear.
