VECTABRIAR
A segmented CRAWLER descends a thorn field toward you. In the original the thorns were a nuisance that piled up. Here they are your weapon: shoot to plant them, SEED to place them where you want, and grow a briar that walls the crawler off. Seal it in a pocket with no way down and it CHOKES — and choking pays far more than shooting. Mind the SPIDER that eats your walls and the FLEA that punches holes in them.

How to play VECTABRIAR

Centipede inverted — the thorn field is your weapon: wall the crawler off and CHOKE it.

Goal: A segmented CRAWLER descends a thorn field toward the band you are pinned to. Shoot a segment and it SPLITS the body and leaves a THORN behind — and thorns are not clutter here, they are your weapon. Plant more with SEED and grow a briar that walls the crawler off: seal it into a pocket with no route down and it is PENNED, then it CHOKES, which pays far more than shooting it ever will. Watch the SPIDER that eats your walls and the FLEA that punches holes through them. Clear the row to roll the next wave, and level up to pick a boon.

Controls: Drag anywhere or the arrows / A-D to move along the bottom band — you auto-fire straight up your own column, so moving IS aiming. Tap SEED (or SPACE) to plant a thorn above you; the pouch regrows over time. On level-up, tap a card (or keys 1-3) to choose your boon.
