Why it's on the shelf
Train mode links each charge to the one before, so a clean release carries momentum into the next hold and a break resets the chain. The desert carries it: dune gold ground, hard blue sky, heat shimmer over sun-bleached stone. Dodging and charging share the same input, so the tension is deciding when to stop holding. Suits players who like a rhythm they set themselves.
How to play
Arrow keys or swipe to dodge and charge. Click the frame once if the game needs keyboard focus, and use the fullscreen button above for a bigger view.

- Re-skin — palette, sprites, audio, logo and end screen.
- Retune — difficulty curve, level length, controls, mobile layout.
- Extend — extra enemy types, modes, scoring, save data.
Paid exports and rebuilds are in development. Nothing is charged yet — browse and play the shelf while we finish the request desk.
