About Solar Wind

You control a small, triangular ship viewed from above. Your job is to fly from the left side of the screen to the right, navigating through waves of enemy crafts and obstacles. You click the mouse to fire your main weapon, a steady stream of projectiles, and you maneuver the ship by moving the cursor. The main objective is simply to survive each stage and reach the end. You have to dodge incoming fire and asteroids while managing your ship's energy, which depletes as you shoot and needs to recharge. The pacing is methodical; it's not a frantic bullet hell but a game that requires careful positioning and shot timing. It feels like a patient, tactical duel against the void of space.
