Megablast on mobile: your first run

To reach the first boss, you’ll need one finger and a good escape route. Here’s how to use both.

Put your finger where you can see

Open the Mobile version, choose Easy for your first try and start a new game. Rest a finger on the playfield, just to one side of the ship. Movement is relative to where you start dragging, so the ship follows the gesture without jumping under your finger. You can lift your finger and put it down wherever it’s comfortable.

Watch the gaps between shots

Your ship fires on its own. Keep your eyes a little ahead of its nose, where you can see gaps opening. Start in the lower half and make short moves. If you hug an edge, the next volley leaves you only one direction to escape.

When an enemy ship crosses your line of fire, a small move sideways is enough to follow it. If shots come from several directions, pick a route through them and let the automatic fire do the rest.

Use the bomb to make room

You start with one megabomb. Tap BOMB below the playfield to clear enemy bullets from the screen and buy a moment to reposition. A good time to use it is when the gaps are closing. After the blast, move back toward an area where you have several ways out.

For your first run, aim to reach the Leviathan. Watch how its first volley opens up and make a short move through it. Repeat until you can tell when to move.
