Scoring

  • Near Miss +75 - Skim past barriers without touching them
  • Energy Orb +150 - Also refills 25% of your boost meter
  • Bonus Gate +300 - Fly through the golden ring (the rim is deadly!)
  • Mine Kill +200 - Shoot the red homing mines before they reach you
  • Drone Kill +250 - Orange drones orbit the tunnel walls
  • Shield Orb - Cyan sphere grants a one-hit shield (+100)
  • Boosting - Earns 1.5x score while active
  • Combo Multiplier - Near misses, kills, and gates chain up to x6 on all bonuses; one hit resets it
  • Vortex Serpent - Strip its body segments (+100 each), then kill the exposed head (+1,000 and a full boost refill)

Tips

  • One hit destroys your ship - grab a cyan shield orb for a second chance
  • Rotating bars sweep the whole tunnel; time your crossing through the open side
  • Purple walls have one glowing hole - line it up early
  • Red mines home in on you once they get close - shoot them early or juke at the last second
  • Enemies appear after 600m, drones after 1.5km - the deeper you go, the more they swarm
  • Lasers overheat if you hold the trigger - fire in bursts or lose your guns at the worst moment
  • The Vortex Serpent hunts you every ~2km. Its head is armored until the body is gone - and it lunges. Kill it fast or survive 26 seconds until it retreats
  • Keep the combo alive: skim a barrier while lasering a mine and everything pays multiplied
