**Glintfleet** is a vertical pixel-art space shooter: slide your fighter along the bottom of a starry lane, fire up at waves of alien ships and stay out of their way.

## How to play

1. Click or press the space bar to start a run.
2. **Fire:** hold the space bar. Shots fly straight up.
3. **Move:** the left and right arrow keys, or A and D.
4. **Lives:** you have three hearts. When the last one is gone, the run ends and you return to the start screen with your last score.
5. **Fighters:** open Choose Fighter to switch ships. Razor unlocks at a high score of 2,000, Lancer at 3,500 and Nova at 6,000.

## What you see on screen

- **The lane:** your fighter at the bottom, alien ships above and a line of white shots between you.
- **Top bar:** your score on the left and three hearts on the right.

## Tips

- Keep moving. In our test, runs that held fire and slid side to side lasted 57 to 64 seconds and scored 1,140 to 1,390.
- Firing from one spot does not help: three runs that held fire without moving ended after 13 to 14 seconds with 0 to 30 points.
- The first new fighter needs a high score of 2,000, a little above the best run we measured.
