How OpenTyrian Web plays
OpenTyrian is a vertically scrolling shooter with distinct episodes, weapon upgrades and dense enemy patterns. The browser port opens on a keyboard-driven menu before dropping into the arcade action.
Who might enjoy it
For players who want a classic shoot-’em-up with a campaign structure rather than a one-screen score attack. A keyboard is essential and the difficulty is intentionally arcade-like.
Controls and device requirements
Use the arrow keys to move and Space or Ctrl to fire; Enter confirms menu choices. The game menus and episode selection are keyboard-driven.
Use a desktop browser with a keyboard; the menus and gameplay rely on arrow keys, fire and confirm. The host does not document touch controls.
