What do they call you, pilot?The bosses say your callsign in the game, too.
■ The six
They watch you, laugh when you're hit and crack apart as the fight turns. The one that's beaten you most becomes your nemesis, and beat it once and it comes back angrier. Go on, wave at them.
Wear the trophy. Crown a boss's sector and its face becomes your app icon.
■ How it plays
No virtual joystick, no buttons to hunt for. Your ship lives under your thumb, and the whole fight fits in three minutes on the couch or the train.
Your ship follows your finger anywhere on the screen.
It fires while your finger is down. Every W powers up your gun.
Time crawls. Pick your line, or tap a Smart Bomb or the Seeker Swarm from your stash.
Near misses charge overdrive: faster fire, double score.
■ Live from the game
Every day, one seeded run with a new twist: eight waves and a boss in about three minutes. Every week, one boss and one clock. This is what the app is serving right now.
