Play on itch.ioWhat Is Zenith Axiom?
Zenith Axiom is a fast-paced arcade space shooter where survival is your only objective. Pilot your ship through endless waves of increasingly dangerous enemies, earning credits for every enemy destroyed. The game features four distinct weapon systems — Cannons, Plasma Blasters, Missile Launchers, and the devastating Destructor Ray — each with unique strengths and trade-offs.
Available for free in browser, as well as Android and desktop downloads on itch.io.
How to Play
A session starts with you piloting a single ship against waves of enemies. Each enemy you destroy awards credits. Between waves or during breaks, you can open the upgrade shop and spend credits to improve your weapons' damage and fire rate.
The enemy waves grow harder over time — more ships, faster movement, and tougher patterns. There is no end goal except to survive as long as possible. Your score is determined by how many waves you clear and enemies you destroy.

Tips and Tricks
- Start with Cannons: Rapid-fire and reliable, Cannons are the safest weapon for learning enemy patterns. Upgrade their fire rate first.
- Switch weapons for different waves: Use Plasma Blasters on armored enemies, Missile Launchers on clustered groups, and save Destructor Ray for boss-type enemies.
- Upgrade damage before fire rate: Higher damage per shot means fewer hits needed to clear a wave, reducing the time enemies have to damage you.
- Keep moving: Standing still is a death sentence. Circle the edges of the screen to create space and dodge incoming fire.
- Save credits for mid-game: Don't buy every cheap upgrade early. Pool credits and invest in a single weapon to carry you through tougher waves.
