## Description

ZeroVector is an endless neo-retro arcade vertical shooter. Battle through waves of enemy ships, defeat four distinctive bosses, and collect shields, EMP, bombs, and weapon upgrades. The REVERSAL ability charges every 20 seconds and can be activated to flip enemy bullets into seeking missiles for dramatic escapes and epic clears.

With the 0.2 update, Conquest mode debuts: three factions (red, blue, purple) battle for hexagonal sectors on a global map. Earn high scores, capture sectors, defend them, and climb a multidimensional leaderboard as the map evolves.
