Star Castle reborn — three counter-rotating shells, and every hole you chew is a window the core shoots back through.
Goal: A CORE sits behind three counter-rotating SHELLS of neon segments, each turning at its own rate in its own direction. Your cannon only ever fires INWARD, so where you fly IS your aim — hold a line and you chew a BREACH through whatever shell is passing in front of you. A shot only reaches the core when the breaches in every shell line up at once, and that WINDOW is fleeting because the shells keep turning and the holes grow back. Here is the catch that makes the game: the core fires back out through exactly the same lane. Every hole you open is a window that can kill you, and the shells are the only thing between you and the thing you are trying to destroy. Kill the core and the citadel collapses; the next one has more shells, turning faster.
Controls: Drag anywhere (or WASD / arrows) to orbit the citadel and close or back off — you auto-fire inward the whole time. Tap PIERCE (or SPACE) to cut a full-depth window in one stroke: the most powerful move in the game and, for the same reason, the most dangerous. On level-up, tap a card (or keys 1-3) to choose your boon.
