Blast through 50 stages of pure vector chaos — no textures, no mercy, just wireframes and score.

ABOUT

Wirehawk brings back the arcade shmup of the golden age, redrawn in glowing vector lines on pure black. You just fly; your laser never stops firing. It is built around the mouse - your ship goes exactly where your hand goes - with full gamepad support when you want it. Fight your way up through the stages of distinct neon worlds, face a boss every tenth stage, and push your laser from a single beam to a screen-filling fan of twenty.

Pure neon vector look - every line drawn, no sprites

Asteroid runs, alien arenas, boss fights

Reaction over memorization - no scripted waves, each enemy hunts you with its own behavior

Power-ups, helper drones, homing missiles and time-slowing stasis

Built for the mouse - one hand, autofire always on; gamepad fully supported

Gamepad aim assist - your ship gently tracks the nearest target (optional)

Short runs, instant restarts, old-school "one more go" scoring

Global Steam leaderboard - every run counts, race the whole world
