PH03N1X
A downloadable game for Windows
Pilot a mechanical phoenix, the PH03N1X, to take on an army of Flierwerks!
Should you fall in battle, the PH03N1X comes equipped with a Rapid Rebuild and Revival Repository that, when charged with the ashes of defeated Flierwerks or close contact with Flierwerk shrapnel, not only lets you cheat death, but it can also make the ship shoot more flames, move faster, or even improve its own ash-collecting prowess!

QUICK TIPS
- It's much easier to get trapped along the edge of the Flierwerks' force field, whether by stray shrapnel or unknowingly shooting a Flierwerk that was about to attack, so try to stay in the center of it as much as possible.
- The PH03N1X comes with a super-accurate radar system that tracks exactly where they will attack from and explode!
- The autopilot is useful for making precise movements through shrapnel, and its movement can be cancelled at any time with WASD or the Arrow Keys.
- When going for high scores, try to upgrade the PH03N1X's ash-collecting rate first.
- Eliminating a Flierwerk is worth double its usual point value from when it starts flashing to when it explodes on its own.
- Keep eliminating Flierwerks without missing a shot to build up the combo meter!
- Try clearing an entire wave without missing, losing a life, or letting Flierwerks explode to get a bonus!
- Each wave tends to play out in their own set pattern depending on what Flierwerks you eliminate at what time. There are 22 different waves, and every wave past that is identical to wave 22.
