A vertical space shooter set at the edge of human survival.
colorpulse6.github.io/sector-zero
Sector Zero is a browser-based vertical space shooter set in the year 2847. Humanity is on the brink — the Hollow, a machine intelligence born from humanity's own technology, has pushed civilization to its last stronghold. You pilot the Harbinger, a cutting-edge fighter tasked with dismantling the Hollow across six combat modes. With RPG progression, multi-phase boss fights, and a story that unfolds mission by mission, Sector Zero is more than a shooter.
