◆ OBJECTIVE
You are a Grab-Runner sealed inside a full-face high-tech visor, dropped into a living neon arena.
Aim the glowing reticle at an object and GRAB to yank it to you with a tractor beam.
Clear each stage's gem quota before the timer hits zero. Every 5th stage is a BOSS LEVEL —
grab Power Cores and hurl them into the Warden to blow it apart. You get 5 lives per run.
◆ AIMING — READ THIS
The glowing reticle is your aim point. The system mouse cursor is hidden while
you play, so the reticle is the crosshair:
- Move the mouse → the reticle follows it exactly (dragging also turns the view).
- Click → fires the tractor beam at whatever is under the reticle.
- If your browser grants pointer-lock (first click), the reticle snaps to the centre and you get true
FPS mouse-look. Press ESC to release it — the reticle follows your cursor again.
- The reticle brackets close and flash when an object is locked. Clicking slightly off-target still
works — there is generous auto-aim.

VOID MINE ✖Touch = −1 life. GRAB IT = DEFUSE for huge points
SEEKER DRONE ☠Hunts you. Dash through it or grab to shatter it
◆ COMBO & SCORING
- Any pickup within 4 s of the last grows your COMBO. Tiers: ×1 → ×2 (5) → ×3 (10) → ×5 (20) → ×8 (35) → ×12 (60+).
- GRAB BONUS: pulling an item with the beam instead of walking into it pays +25%.
- DEFUSE a Void Mine with the beam for a massive risk/reward payout.
- PARRY a plasma orb by dashing into it — huge points plus real boss damage.
- Stage clear pays a time bonus (seconds left × 2,500 × level) and a no-damage bonus.
- Boss bounty = level × 60,000. Item value scales with level, so late stages print millions.
◆ BOSS TACTICS
- The Warden orbits mid-arena: plasma orbs, expanding shockwave rings (jump or dash them) and mine summons.
- Only Power Cores hurt it — grab one and it auto-launches. Cores keep respawning, so the fight can
never become unwinnable.
- Under 50% HP it ENRAGES: faster shots, double shockwaves, more spawns.
◆ RUNNING OUT OF TIME / LIVES
If the timer hits zero you lose 1 life, the screen shouts TIME UP and the
same stage restarts with a fresh clock — your run score is kept. When the last life is lost the run ends and
the RUN TERMINATED screen appears with your score and the world-ranking submit button.
◆ WORLD RANKING
After a run, enter your pilot name — your score enters the Global Top 100 (saved on this device and
merged with the worldwide pilot list). Beat rank #100 to qualify.
◆ YOU CAN NEVER GET STUCK
- Edge chevrons always point at the nearest gem / power core / boss.
- The arena auto-refills if it ever runs low on pickups.
- Press ESC/P (or ❚❚) any time for RESUME · RESTART LEVEL · CHANGE VISOR · LEVEL MAP · HELP · END RUN.
- Internal watchdogs recover from a lost frame or a stuck transition automatically.
