ASHEN VERTICES

a monochrome descent · prototype v0.5

A survivors-like where the boss fights are rhythm charts. Clear the horde, then hold the line when the boss opens a guard — keep the meter swinging between two marks, in time with the track's own beat map.

Best with sound on — the guard phase is scored against the music. Headphones recommended.
Move
W A S D or arrows
Aim
Point with the mouse and hold left-click to fire. Area weapons still pulse on their own
Guard
When a boss opens a GUARD, a marker sweeps a bar. Hit SPACE or right-click as it crosses either zone — early or late costs you the swing
Descend
Survive the round, then rest · shop · craft. Fall, and bank essence for the Sanctuary — power that outlives death
