What they drop
Fly over a pickup to collect it. Miss it and it is gone.
Guns
Match your gun color to build upgrades: one pickup each for levels 2–3, two each for levels 4–6, and three each for levels 7–8. A different color switches weapons and resets to level 1. Blue Pulse: focused volleys. Green Scatter: wide pellets. Red Lance: piercing bolts. Violet Arc: chain hits. Gold Seeker: homing missiles. Destroy drones and damage bosses to charge SUPER. Tap the word at the right edge or press Space to launch your current color’s special. Special kills do not recharge it. Higher levels fire larger shots. Gun pickups keep their color. Lose a ship and you keep your color but drop one level. Later waves bring faster shots and more frequent attacks.
