ZONE 17

The objective is simple: survive 50 waves of sentient cubes across brutalist, atmospheric environments—ranging from a bleak industrial sector to an abandoned village. Some cubes are armored, some have propeller blades with guns attached, and there's a much stronger one waiting. Will you make it out? Probably not, but you can try.

And yes, the game and the enemies are supposed to look like that—it's a deliberate minimalist style built in Three.js, and it gives much better performance in-browser anyway.

I know this is supposed to be a wave game with infinite waves, but once you hit wave 50, you can play Wave++ to keep all your gear and survive even longer. If you die somewhere on a high wave, feel free to submit your high score.

Before you ask—yes, the audio sounds terrible and looks like AI slop. That's because the only vibe-coded part is the audio and the main menu song since I didn't know how to put that into HTML properly. Give me a break. (Main menu track is "someplace i know" by NightMargin from OneShot).

A note from the dev: This game took months of work and a lot of effort to build directly in HTML. To clarify: the game is NOT abandoned. However, this will likely be the last HTML project I ever make—or at least the last time I attempt a full FPS wave shooter in HTML. If you have any suggestions or updates, feel free to share them! Who knows, I might make another simpler project down the line. Thank you all for the support!

I made this on my horrible laptop with an i5-480m and a GT 540m, so even your potato PC can run it. Potato approved.

Controls & Mechanics

System Requirements

• Browser Compatibility: From personal testing, the game may run worse or stutter on Brave Browser. It is strongly recommended to play on Firefox, Chrome, or virtually anything else for smooth performance.
• Kill Count Persistence Bug: If you notice your kills being kept while reloading the page or dying, it is a known bug. It is a bit complicated under the hood, but I'm trying my best to fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience!
