⚡ WARDEN ZERO ⚡

Hold the line. Collect the gems. Level up. Crush the horde.

A fast, chaotic top-down arena survival shooter that runs right in your browser.

---

🎮 The game

Two modes, one Warden:

• 🏟️ Arena — survive 8 escalating waves of relentless hordes across a big, camera-following arena, then face the Warden Colossus boss. Every kill drops a gem; scoop them up to level up mid-fight and pick your upgrades.
• 🌴 Operation Greenfang — a 2.5D jungle assault. Push through the foliage and clear the sector, calling in artillery and air strikes (paint a target, brace, watch the treeline erupt).

🟢 Pure chaos. Shoot, dash, bomb, collect, repeat. 🟢

✨ Features

• 🌊 8 waves + boss finale — up to ~80 enemies on screen at once
• 🧟 8 enemy types — grunt, swarmer, runner, brute, tank, plus pixel skeleton, spider & demon
• 💎 Gems = XP — collect (with magnet + end-of-wave vacuum) to level up and choose 1 of 3 upgrades
• 🔧 16 upgrades — multishot, crit, piercing, lifesteal, regen, gem magnet, bomb mods… real build variety
• 💥 Abilities — dash (with i-frames) and a radial bomb, on cooldowns
• 🩸 Boss fight — the Warden Colossus, with a health bar and minion summons
• 🌴 Second mode (Greenfang) — 2.5D jungle with depth-sorted canopies + call-in artillery & air strikes (Q to switch, right-click to call)
• 🔊 Sound, screen shake, particles, hearts & coins
