Controls
On desktop, steer with the mouse or WASD / arrow keys and fire with Space (or hold to auto-fire). On touch, drag anywhere to move your ship — your cannons fire automatically. Pick a hull in the hangar first; each flies a little differently.
Power-ups
Downed enemies sometimes drop glowing tokens. Grab them for spread shots, rapid fire, shields, and score multipliers. They stack and expire — read the HUD and press your advantage while it lasts.
Scoring & survival
Every kill adds to your score; clearing a wave escalates the difficulty and the rewards. You have limited lives — a hit costs one. Your best score and level are saved on this device so you always have a target to beat.

Questions
Can I play on my phone?
Yes — drag to fly and the ship auto-fires. It plays in both portrait and landscape, though landscape gives you more room to dodge.
How do I pause?
Press P, or just switch tabs — the game pauses itself the moment it loses focus so you never take a hit while you're away.
The game runs but there's no sound?
Sound starts on your first tap or key press, and M toggles mute. If it's still silent, check the mute button in the corner.
What unlocks with PRO?
AURA ONE adds extra hulls and skins here, plus every other app in the AURA Universe. The core game is free to play as long as you like.
Is my high score saved?
