Hybrid Fighter

You control a lone spacecraft, moving it horizontally across the bottom of the screen. Your main goal is to survive waves of descending alien ships, shooting them down before they can overwhelm you or pass your position. You fire with the spacebar, and you can collect power-ups that appear, which change your weapon for a limited time. The pace is steady, with the aliens arriving in predictable formations at first, then becoming more aggressive. It feels like a focused test of your timing and accuracy, a basic but engaging loop of dodging and returning fire.
