Orbital Outpost
You are the last gunner at a moon outpost.
About This Game
You are the last gunner at a moon outpost. Aim a pulse blaster from a fixed first-person position as alien beetles crawl down the landing strip and drones fly above them. Hold to fire, but release between bursts: an overheated blaster must cool before it can shoot again.
Supply drops float down from the sky. They bounce when they land and vanish soon after, so hit them before that happens. Hit the gold energy cell (RAPID) for 6 seconds of faster fire that builds no heat, or hit the clock (+10s) to add 10 seconds. The two kinds take turns.
Green beetles take 1 hit, drones 2 and orange armored beetles 3, awarding 10, 20 and 30 points. Armor appears after 24 seconds. A shockwave deals 2 damage to nearby enemies and recharges in 7 seconds. The base starts with 100 integrity and the clock with 45 seconds. Earn 2 points per full second survived. Hold the base until the clock runs out for 100 bonus points plus remaining integrity.
Game Tips
- 🎯 Prioritize enemies closest to the base. Drones fly above the beetles.
- ❄️ Fire in short bursts. Overheating leaves you unable to shoot for a while.
- 📦 Shoot supply drops as soon as they drift low enough to aim at. The gold cell gives 6 seconds of rapid fire and the clock adds 10 seconds.
