Welcome to Shape Skirmish! In this game, you play as Triangle Man in an endless space invader inspired game with a slight pinball aspect to it. Fight your way through endless hordes of enemies as you try for the high score in this challenging bullet hell. 

There are 4 Phases: Phase 1, where only bouncing and shooting enemies spawn, Phase 2, where Charging enemies spawn, Phase 3, where more enemies can spawn, and phase 4, where the final enemy, the homing enemy, spawns. After that you play for the highest score that you can get (Post your score in the comments if you want to)

Controls: Left Arrow to move left, Right Arrow to move right, Space Bar to shoot, and Z Key to start the game.

EDIT PLEASE READ: Okay so from what my comments say right now the game is a bit too difficult so I am going to provide some tips.

1. Camp in the corners. The shooting enemies can't get you here and you can shoot the bouncing enemies when they come in front of you.

2. Remember that you can wrap around the room horizontally. This is a huge help when dodging incoming bouncing enemies when camping in the corner.

3. Set up shots. If you can time it right, you can shoot a shot somewhere that a shooting enemy or charging enemy is about to run into, therefore they get hit by your well - placed bullet.

I hope this helped with improving your play experience. Enjoy!
