Hold the Line
Pixel Armada is a fast, retro-style arcade shooter. Pilot your ship against waves of enemies across five hand-designed levels, then loop back through them as the difficulty climbs. You get three lives for the whole run and one goal: hold the line long enough to climb the leaderboard.
Play the campaign
Arrow keys or A/D to move. Space (or up arrow) to fire. On mobile, the on-screen control bar appears beneath the canvas. Each killed enemy may drop a rapid-fire, shield, or multi-shot power-up.

How a run works
Each run takes you through all five levels in sequence, then starts them over with faster, denser enemy waves — so how far you get is a test of endurance, not just reflexes. Downed enemies sometimes drop a power-up: rapid-fire to raise your rate of fire, a shield to absorb a hit, or multi-shot to widen your spread. Grab them mid-fight when you can, because the later loops leave little room for error.
Lose all three lives and the run ends. If your score is high enough, it lands on the local leaderboard saved in your browser — no account required, just a name and a number to beat next time. It plays with arrow keys and the space bar on desktop, or an on-screen control bar on mobile, so you can pick up a quick run on any device.
