About Shooter Sky
It's classic bullet-hell DNA distilled for the browser. The ship fires automatically, so your entire focus goes to movement - threading through gaps in bullet curtains, positioning to grab power-ups, and surviving long enough to reach the stage boss. Hitboxes are forgiving compared to old-school arcade shmups, but the screen still gets busy enough that panic deaths happen.
Power-ups drop from killed enemies: spread shots, lasers, missiles, shields, bombs. Grabbing them mid-dodge is the core tension. Do you veer into a dangerous lane to grab a weapon upgrade, or play safe and stay underpowered?
Runs are stage-based with a boss at the end of each. The difficulty climbs steadily, and memorizing bullet patterns on the bosses is the path to clearing them without burning all your bombs.
How to Play
Weave through bullet patterns rather than trying to outrace them. Most bullet curtains have gaps you can slip through if you move deliberately rather than reactively.
Grab power-ups dropped by destroyed enemies. Weapon upgrades stack, but you drop a level when hit, so staying alive protects your build.
Bombs clear the screen and give brief invulnerability. Save them for boss phases or moments when you're completely trapped rather than using them casually.

Pro Tips
Watch the boss, not your ship. Your peripheral vision tracks your position - focus on telegraphed attacks so you can pre-position.
Don't greed for every power-up. A risky pickup that costs a life sets you back further than staying one weapon tier lower.
Memorize the safe spots on boss bullet patterns. Most have a recurring rhythm you can exploit once recognized.
Controls
Firing is automatic
Bomb: Spacebar or dedicated key to clear screen
