1. Core Objective & Hull Defense
Hostile alien spacecraft descend toward your ship from the top of the canvas. Each enemy carries a target word. Typing the first matching letter locks your laser turret; completing the word destroys the ship and awards combat score.
If an enemy breaches your defense perimeter line, it detonates against your shields. You start with 100 Hull HP—reach 0 HP and the mission ends.
2. Target Lock-On State Machine
When unfocused, typing any character matches the nearest active enemy starting with that letter. Once locked, all subsequent keystrokes must strictly match that specific word until it is destroyed. Keystrokes for other targets on screen are ignored until target resolution.
3. Streak Multipliers & Speed Bonuses
Consecutive correct words increase your score multiplier up to a maximum cap of 2.25×:
Multiplier = 1.0 + (min(floor(CurrentStreak / 10), 5) * 0.25)
Any mistake clunk immediately resets your streak to 0 and multiplier to 1.0×.
