About

Shyftel

Read full description

Shyftel is a survival arena that is new every day, and everyone gets the same one. Every player faces the same arena, the same enemy waves and the same upgrade offers that day. You move, and your weapons fire on their own. Last as long as you can, choose your upgrades well, and see where you land on today's leaderboard. HOW A RUN WORKS - Drag anywhere on the screen to move. Your bolts aim and fire by themselves. - Collect experience gems and pick one of three upgrades at every level, from a pool of twenty. - The first surge floods the arena just before the three minute mark, then another every 105 seconds, each bigger than the last. - Runs are endless. Yours ends when your health does. - Died early? Start the same run again. There is no limit on attempts, and you choose which run you submit. A DIFFERENT ARENA EVERY DAY Five themes rotate, and each one changes how you play: - Tron: glowing strips with arrows. Move with them to go much faster, against them to slow down. - Moon: meteors. A ring appears, then a rock lands in it and hurts anything inside, enemies included. - Desert: sand piles that slow down everything walking through them. - Forest: tree trunks that nothing can walk through and your bolts cannot shoot through. Your orbiting shards pass right through them. - Jupiter: wind gusts that push you and the swarm around. SIX KINDS OF ENEMY Slow drifters, fast darters, heavy bulwarks, splitters that break in two, halos that circle you, and from ten minutes in, lancers that charge up a shot you have to sidestep. RANKED ON KILLS Most kills wins, and survival time breaks a tie. Because everyone played the same run, the board compares decisions rather than luck. Every past day keeps its own top ten at shyftel.fun. ALSO - A daily reminder to play, if you want one - A card of your run and your build to share - No account and no sign-up. You pick a display name only when you submit a score - No connection? You can still play, the run just is not ranked - Watch an optional ad to carry on a long run, once per run
