One rule: do not get hit. The clock is your score, and the storm never stops growing.

You can also steer by holding the mouse button or dragging your finger — the ship moves toward the cursor.
Three things scale with your survival time, and they compound:
Roughly 9 missiles share the screen at 5 seconds, about 46 at 30 seconds, and over 130 past the one-minute mark. Getting to 60 seconds is a genuinely hard run.
Every missile is aimed at where your ship was when it spawned, plus a random error. It never re-targets. That single fact is the whole game: a missile is a prediction, and you beat it by not being where you were.
The first second of every run is a shield window: nothing spawns, and you get a moment to breathe.
Because missiles lead your old position, standing still is fatal and sprinting across the field runs you into the waves already in flight. Short, constant repositioning beats both.
Edges look safe because fewer missiles come from behind you, but the wall removes an escape direction. Cornered against an edge with three missiles inbound, there is no answer. The center always has four ways out.
Past 30 seconds there are too many objects to track individually. Stop looking at missiles and start looking at the empty space between them. Aim for where the gap will be, not where it is.
Against a dense wave, moving sideways across their path clears far more distance than backing away in a straight line. Retreating just keeps you in the firing lane longer.
