About

Attack Vector Alpha is a retro arcade game built around a single orbital mechanic: player movement is limited to a path around a central core. Waves of enemies escalate in increasing danger while players defend the core from waves of enemies for as long as possible. The health of the core is all that matters: players themselves have no HP, no extra lives, no continues, and no way to win (high scores only). When the core is destroyed, the run ends.
