Armada

An enemy fleet hangs in formation overhead. One by one, ships peel off and dive at you — read the arcs, dodge sideways, and pick them off before they swarm.

How to play

Your ship sits at the bottom of the screen. Drag anywhere along the bottom area to slide it left and right. The cannon fires upward automatically as soon as a previous shot leaves the screen — there's nothing to tap for shots.

Above you, a grid of enemy ships sits in a slow side-to-side formation. Every couple of seconds one of them leaves its slot and dives at you along a curved path that aims for where you were when it broke off. Most divers fire one bullet straight down at the midpoint of their dive.

Touching a diving ship or any bullet costs a life. You have three.

Hits on formation ships score 50 points. Catching a diver in mid-arc is harder, so it pays double at 100. Clear every ship on screen to advance — each new level adds dive frequency, tightens dive arcs, and brings a new formation in.

Tips & strategy

Stay moving. The dive curve is computed the moment a ship breaks off, so it aims at where you were a heartbeat ago — keep drifting and the arc lands behind you. Stop to take aim and you stop directly under the target reticle.

Shoot the divers, not the formation. The grid above is patient; it'll wait for you. The diving ship is the only one that can reach you this second, and it's worth double on top of that. Train your fire on whichever ship just left its slot.

Don't camp the corners. Diving arcs sweep wider near the walls and many curves wrap around behind you when you're flush against the side. The middle two-thirds of the screen gives you escape room in both directions, which is what you actually need when two ships dive at once.

The formation drifts side to side, so the column lined up over you keeps changing. When that column thins out from your own fire, the divers from that column have nowhere to hide on the way down — that's your kill streak window. Push your shots into whichever column is currently above you and let the formation feed targets into your stream.
