A cute retro vertical shooter in the browser tab: pilot a chili pepper through waves of tomato and eggplant enemies, chain combos for bigger scores, and face an ice-cream boss every tenth wave. No install, no account, nothing uploaded.
Move with WASD or the arrow keys while auto-fire clears incoming waves. Collect spread, speed, and shield power-ups, stack combo multipliers, and survive the ice-cream boss on wave 10, 20, and beyond. About 26 KB loads when you press Play.
Chili Blast Shooter
Press Play and a chili-pepper pilot drops into a neon starfield while tomato, eggplant, and pumpkin enemies drift down from the top. Move with WASD or the arrow keys; your ship fires automatically on a fixed cadence, so the challenge is dodging enemy bullets while steering into power-up drops and keeping kill chains alive for combo multipliers.
Controls at a glance:
| Action | Input |
|---|---|
| Move | WASD or arrow keys |
| Attack | Automatic (fires on a timer) |
| Start / retry | Enter on title or game-over screen |
| Lives | 3 per run (shield power-up blocks one hit) |
Waves announce at the top of the canvas. Every tenth wave spawns an ice-cream boss with a health bar and aimed or spread shots. Defeating enemies in quick succession raises a combo counter that multiplies the points you earn. Floating pickups grant spread shot (wide volley), speed boost (faster movement and fire), or a one-hit shield.
Only your local high score is saved in the browser under a namespaced key; there is no account and no network calls after load. The chiptune effects are synthesized with the Web Audio API (no audio files), and every sprite is drawn on canvas, so the whole game is a single ~26 KB download.
