Gameplay

The player has infinite lives, the amount of bombs and supers at your disposal depend on the level itself. The player also starts the match with a preset timer.

When the match starts and when the player respawns, a preset wave of enemies will spawn. When a wave is destroyed, a new wave spawns instantly in its place and the player receives a few seconds of extra time. This means that the player has more time depending on how often they die and how quickly they can destroy enemy waves.
