## What is Dead Vector?

Dead Vector is a fast, retro arcade space shooter. One ship. Endless alien swarms. Can you hold the line?

Fly a lone starfighter into wave after wave of alien invaders. Weave through enemy fire, blast the swarm, and take down massive bosses with attacks you have to learn and dodge. One hit ends your run — so stay sharp.

Between missions, head to the Hangar and rebuild your ship. Mix and match powerful modules — rapid-fire bullets, wide spread shots, homing missiles, cutting lasers, devastating plasma, gravity-bending black holes, heavy cannons, and ally drones that fight beside you. Every module changes how you play. Find the build that fits your style.

FEATURES
- Fast, skill-based arcade shooting — dodge, weave, blast.
- Build your ship from many unique modules — no two loadouts play the same.
- Waves of alien enemies in real formations.
- Boss fights — read the attack, dodge, punish.
- Upgrade your ship between missions and power up mid-battle.
- Easy to pick up, tough to master — casual-friendly, no grind walls.

Whether you love classic shoot 'em ups (shmups), galaxy space shooters, or just want a quick arcade fix, Dead Vector drops you straight into the action.

Build your ship. Outgun the swarm. Become the last standing.

Free to play. Ready when you are.
