Project Phoenix

Project Phoenix  is a top down spaceship combat game where you must navigate your experimental prototype battleship through a hostile asteroid field to reach a warp gate and escape to your home world with this prototype ship intact. Your enemies will overwhelm you, but you have a special advantage that will get you through the worst battles ahead!

Controls:

• Mouse Axis - Move and steer the ship
• Left Mouse Button - Boost or select target
• Right Mouse Button - Launch a missile (mouse over them first)
• Mouse Wheel - Zoom camera in / out
• Space Bar - Boost

Tips:

• Your ship has four types of weapons: Turrets, Broadsides, Missiles, Fighters
• Each weapon system unlocked at different upgrade tiers
• There are three icons above your HUD bars indicating which weapons available
• When available, the missile icon will light up when ready to fire
• At the center of the HUD is your "phoenix gauge" showing when it can be used
• Follow the blue quest markers which appear around your ship's target ring
