Recycle Arena

Hurl cans at waves of rogue enemies!

Blast enemies in a top-down arena shooter with radial zone-based scoring. Move with WASD and aim with the mouse to fire projectiles at incoming waves of enemies. Grab magnets to pull enemies closer, crushers for temporary invulnerability, or shields for damage reduction. Inner zones multiply your score so risk positioning near the center for maximum points.

About Recycle Arena
