GYROXEN

How to play

Reach the exit portal of every level without losing all lives. Timing, movement and reading enemy placement matter more than constant firing.

Keyboard controls

  • A/D: move
  • W or Space: jump
  • Q: dash
  • E: shoot
  • S: crouch
  • Escape or the score panel: pause menu

Mobile controls

  • The left movement pad controls direction and crouching.
  • Dash, shoot and jump can be moved and resized separately.
  • The game frame can be reduced to leave more room for controls.

Saves and recovery

  • Continue restarts the current level with the same score and remaining lives.
  • Restore points are created after stages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 29 and 30.
  • After losing all lives, a restore point returns with full lives and the saved score.

Weapons and pickups

  • The basic weapon is balanced.
  • The wave weapon covers changing heights.
  • The multi-beam weapon covers a wide area.
  • The heavy cannon concentrates several shots into one projectile.

Troubleshooting

  • Reload if the game remains on the startup screen.
  • Allow JavaScript and local browser storage.
  • On mobile, use fullscreen if controls feel cramped.
