The experimental fighter craft AB-95X TENSEC has been deployed to combat the growing swarm of CESNET drones from the rebel Fibonacci faction. Its innovative one-touch control and unproven auto-fire mechanism may be difficult to tame, but a decorated ace pilot such as yourself is never the kind to back down from a challenge.

The craft is proven to interface well using the WASD keys, the left gamepad stick, or the dragging motion of a fleshy finger on a touchscreen. Every move will engage the weapons system, which has yet to receive bespoke subzero cooling hardware. In the meantime, you'll have to keep watch of the heat gauge or you may be caught empty-handed as the weapons system cools down for ten seconds! TENSEC is also made of experimental alloys made to improve maneuverability at the cost of durability. Ten hits may be enough to send you six feet under!

The enemy front launches in ten-second waves, with a surplus of slower last-generation craft. Points will be given for every ten seconds you survive and every craft you down.

The future of our territory rests on you now. Good luck!

Not gonna lie this is actually pretty fun. Maybe a little simple but fun.

Interesting take on the theme. It took me a little while to understand what was going on. Nice art.

I love the art and the music! Great work! However, the game can be a bit challenging at times. Overall, though, not bad!

cool concept and game, the sounds were annoying from time to time, especially because when they overlaped it was way to loud and distorted. cool concept anyways :)

I think the enemies were broken for me, they don't actually shoot and I let like 15 hit me without dying. Audio was a little overwhelming. Potential for a fun little arcade game though

Ditto on previous commenters, audio was a little loud and piercing, had to turn it down a lot. Also, enemies seem to not be able to fire properly, if I had to guess their bullets were colliding with themselves? Seemed to happen when they were firing right/down. Good game though, neat little arcade shooter
