About the Game

ZYRCON is a fast, endless retro sci-fi arcade shooter in the "bullet-heaven" defense style. It's controlled entirely with your mouse — your ship glides left and right along the bottom, tracking your cursor, and fires automatically the moment a target's in your sights.

Blast asteroids that shatter into shards and leave behind glowing plasma cores. Hold the left button to pull them toward your cursor before they drift away. But watch out — target an asteroid and it locks on, homing straight at you, while aliens in UFOs strafe you from above.

What's in store:

  • Three switchable, upgradeable weapons — Laser, Shotgun, and the chaining Ricochet

  • Stasis — a time-freeze that slows the universe to a crawl while you keep firing at full speed

  • Hidden corner anti-asteroid cannons, bonuses, and tons of juice — shatters, sparks, and explosions on every hit

  • Difficulty that ramps with your score, not time — the better you get, the harder it hits

  • Chase the leaderboard — a global Steam leaderboard

One run, one hand on the mouse, one score.
