Bulwark 3D: Retro Shooter

YOUR COVER IS AMMUNITION. SPEND IT AND YOU WILL RUN OUT.

A retro shooter built on one decision you have to make over and over. You are a gun on a rail at the bottom of the screen. It fires upward on its own, always, without being asked. A formation of hard-edged neon geometry — hexagons, rhombi, shards — sweeps sideways above you, steps down at the edges, and comes for the line. Three bulwarks stand between you and it.

THE COVER ERODES FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS
• Enemy ordnance craters it from above.
• Your own auto-fire bores a channel straight up through it from below — including the exact column you are hiding in, because that is where your shots go.
• So standing behind cover is safe right now and costs you the cover. Standing in the open preserves it and exposes you. That is the entire game, and it arrives in the first ten seconds: the middle bulwark sits directly over your start position, an idle gun tunnels through its own protection, and the next thing dropped comes down the hole it made.
• Anything on a clear drop onto you draws a live threat line. The mechanic is meant to be seen coming, not to ambush you.

WHAT THE FORMATION DOES
• It is ordered: sweep, step down, sweep back. Only the front of each column can fire, so thinning a column changes who is shooting at you.
• Thin it out and it accelerates — sideways, and more importantly DOWNWARD, so the endgame is decisive instead of a two-minute chase after the interesting part is over.
• Every wave adds ranks, speed, drop distance and rate of fire, and more of that fire is aimed at where you are standing rather than fired at random.
• Some attackers are VOLATILE. Hit one and it detonates, taking everything nearby with it — and anything volatile inside that blast goes off in turn. One shot into a tight cluster and the rank blooms all at once.

HOLD THE WAVE, KEEP WHAT IS LEFT
Clearing a wave pays for the wave and pays again for how much cover you still have. Then the bulwarks are patched — a little, never all of it. Cover you spent is gone for the rest of the run, which is what makes spending it a decision instead of a per-wave allowance.

THE RUN ENDS TWO WAYS
Something reaches your line, or something reaches you. There are no lives. A SHIELD pickup will spend itself instead of your run and put some of the cover back, but it drops when it drops.

CONTROLS
Drag and the gun runs to your thumb — fast, but not a teleport, because parking half a bulwark over is the whole skill. It fires by itself; there is no fire button to fumble.

AN OFFLINE SPACE SHOOTER WITH NO SERVER BEHIND IT

• No energy meter, no lives timer, no waiting to try the wave again.
• Your personal top ten scores, kept on your device.
• A daily challenge with a streak that pays coins, tracked on your device — no account, no server.

WHAT YOU UNLOCK
• 272 vector cosmetics across six tabs — turrets, bulwarks, backgrounds, scenes, screen modifiers and soundtracks

• Coins come from every wave you hold and how much cover you held it with

A neon wireframe retro shooter you can open in a tunnel, on a plane, or on one bar of signal, and it plays exactly the same. Free to play with ads and optional in-app purchases. Optional rewarded video: watch one to continue a run or top up coins — a continue here rebuilds the bulwarks and pushes the formation back up. Always your choice, never forced. The one-time VIP Arcade Pass removes interstitial ads, doubles the coins you earn, and pays a 25,000-coin bonus.
