About Agent Wars

Your ship fires rapid energy bolts, and the grid keeps shifting under you as you fly, so this shooting game is as much about moving as aiming.

The rogue agents attack in waves, and later waves come in denser formations. Once you reach Wave 5, your cannon upgrades to a triple-shot spread that covers more of the screen and makes those crowded waves easier to thin out.

Your other tool is a thruster boost that gives you a short burst of high speed. While it is active your thrusters change color, so you always know when you are at top speed.

Taking a hit gives you a short window of invincibility. It plays like a straight arcade shooter, where those few safe seconds are often the difference between escaping a crowded spot and getting cornered.

Quick summary

  • You pilot an interceptor on a shifting neon grid.
  • Waves of rogue agents fly in and fire projectiles at you.
  • You shoot them down and dodge their fire to move on to the next wave.
  • From Wave 5 on, your shots split into a triple spread.

Key features

  • You fight wave after wave of rogue agents, with tighter formations as you go.
  • Your rapid-fire energy cannon turns into a triple-shot spread at Wave 5.
  • A thruster boost on Shift gives you a quick burst of speed.
  • You get brief invincibility after taking damage.
  • Reading enemy shots and slipping between them is a big part of this skill game.

Tips & tricks

  • Use the invincibility after a hit to move to a safer part of the grid instead of staying where you got hit.
  • Save the boost for squeezing out of tight spots when projectiles close in.
  • Watch your thruster color to check whether your boost is still running.
  • Focus on survival in the early waves. Things open up once the triple shot kicks in at Wave 5.

Frequently asked questions

What does the boost do?
Holding Shift gives you a short high-speed burst, and your thrusters change color while it is active.
What happens right after I get hit?
Your ship is invincible for a short moment, so you can reposition without taking more damage.
