Raging

Raging is a top-down arena shooter by Petar Petrov, built on the Crafty JavaScript game engine. You move freely through a single-screen arena, shooting outward in every direction while enemy waves close in from all sides.

There is one hit point and no shield, so the game is entirely about spacing: if anything gets inside your firing radius, you have already lost the trade. The build is a real desktop-style app package, complete with a manifest, so the game presents a proper menu, high-score table and in-game instructions rather than dropping you straight into the action. It also ships as a desktop application.

How to Play

1. Move with the mouse or WASD.
2. Shoot in the direction you are aiming.
3. Keep moving - standing still is how runs end.
4. Beat the waves and set a high score.

Controls

• WASD or Mouse - move
• Mouse - aim
• Left click or Space - fire
• Esc - menu

Tips

Continuously retreat while firing. Aiming is not the bottleneck at arena scale - surviving long enough to finish the wave is, and every enemy you let inside your radius costs you the one life you have.
