Kinetic Defender

Game created for the Boss Rush Jam 2025

The space station is under attack, and you are its last line of defense.

Your mission: protect it from powerful waves of enemies.

You’ve been equipped with a special suit designed to absorb the kinetic energy generated by the station’s rotation.

Each full rotation charges your suit, allowing you to launch powerful punches against your rivals.

Every five rotations, you’ll unlock a devastating lethal kick capable of destroying enemies in an instant.

However, as the assault continues, the station will start losing speed, making your recharges slower.

You’ll need to carefully manage your attacks and control every opportunity to protect the station for as long as possible.
