CHARGE!

CHARGE! is a one-button charge-shot arena blaster made for AI Browser Game Jam 4 (theme: CHARGE!).

Guard your reactor core while ions converge from every side. HOLD anywhere to wind up a charge, then RELEASE to blast them back. The longer you hold, the wider and more piercing the arc — a full charge unleashes a screen-clearing beam. But push past full and the core OVERLOADS and locks out, so greed has a price. That risk/reward is the whole game.

- One thumb: hold / drag to aim / Space. Works on desktop and mobile.

- Combo multipliers for multi-kills, escalating waves, and heavy ions that only a full charge can crack.

- Newcomer first-blast grace so you can't lose before your first shot.

- All-time leaderboard, lifetime stats, and 8 badges to chase.
