Planet Attack Defend
Your planet sits at the center of the screen and enemy ships approach from all edges. You control a single defender orbiting the planet, and your job is to shoot enemies before they reach the surface. The defender rotates smoothly around the planet, and you aim by positioning yourself between the incoming threat and the planet. Different enemy types require different approaches: scouts are fast but die in one hit, cruisers are slow but absorb multiple shots, and bombers split into smaller ships when destroyed. Power-ups drop randomly: a triple shot, a temporary shield around the planet, and a screen-clearing bomb. The difficulty ramps in waves, with wave 10 introducing enemies that teleport past your defenses.

Combat Tips
Focus on mastering the core mechanic early: your planet sits at the center of the screen and enemy ships approach from all edges. Survival often depends on positioning rather than raw speed. Find a safe spot and plan your next move carefully. Accuracy matters more than raw speed. Once you can navigate sections cleanly, the speed will come naturally. Aim for positioning that gives you clear sight lines. Rushing shots wastes ammunition and leaves you vulnerable. Power-ups drop randomly: a triple shot, a temporary shield around the planet, and a screen-clearing bomb.
