About the Game

Vector Storm is a fast-paced top-down arcade shooter that rewards aggression, precision, and smart builds.

Fight through endless waves of escalating enemies, survive devastating boss encounters, and grow stronger with every

run.

Survive. Build. Repeat.

Each run drops you into an arena that gets deadlier by the wave. Clear enemies to earn credits, spend them in the

mid-run shop on weapons and upgrades, and scavenge gear from fallen bosses. Die, bank your tokens, and come back

stronger.

Build Your Loadout

Equip tiered gear across seven slots — cockpit, wings, boosters, plating, shield, dampener, and weapon bay. Every

piece changes how your ship performs. Stack synergies, push your combo multiplier, and find the build that carries you

deepest.

Five Ships. Five Playstyles.

Start with the balanced Viper or unlock faster, stranger ships as you clear waves. The heavy Bastion regenerates

shields. The Phantom opens with a stealth window. The Ironclad reflects damage back. Each ship demands a different

approach.

Meta-Progression

Tokens earned each run fund permanent upgrades — more health, faster fire rate, bonus starting credits, and more. Sink

enough tokens into the tree and the arena changes with you.
