Zyrcon

Zyrcon is an endless retro sci-fi arcade shooter in which you defend against asteroids and aliens. Your ship moves left and right along the bottom of the screen, following your mouse cursor, and fires automatically when a target is in its sights.

Fight and collect

Asteroids shatter into shards and leave glowing plasma cores behind. Hold the left mouse button to pull the cores toward your cursor before they drift away. When you target an asteroid, it locks on and homes in on your ship, while aliens in UFOs strafe you from above.

You can switch between three upgradeable weapons:

• Laser: one of three switchable weapons.
• Shotgun: one of three switchable weapons.
• Ricochet: a weapon that chains between targets.

Abilities and difficulty

Stasis freezes time, slowing the universe while you continue firing at full speed. Hidden corner anti-asteroid cannons and bonuses add to your defenses, with shatters, sparks and explosions on every hit. Difficulty rises with your score rather than with time.

Score chase

Each run is a single-handed mouse challenge. A global Steam leaderboard lets you chase high scores.
