Spindrift

presents in-game as SPINDRIFT

SPINDRIFT is a vector-style arcade space shooter: white outlines on black, momentum that never stops, rocks that split when you shoot them, and saucers that shoot back. A loving homage to the vector arcade era, built new for the browser.

Key features

What Spindrift does

Vector aesthetic

Glowing white outlines on pure black, monospace type, and a glow toggle for slower machines.

Momentum is the enemy

Thrust and rotation only, no brakes. The ship drifts until you fly it back under control.

Arcade scoring

Rocks score 20, 50, or 100 by size; saucers 200 or 1,000; bonus ship at 10,000. Your high score persists.

Hyperspace

One panic button that teleports you somewhere else, possibly somewhere worse.
