Skyline Salvage
Fly a salvage skiff over a ruined neon skyline. Downed raiders leave wreckage: the tractor beam clamps it around your hull as a shield, or fling it forward as a piercing weapon. A boss every 5 waves.

Designer’s note
Most shooters treat wreckage as scenery. Here the wreckage is the loadout: you wear it as armor or throw it as a lance, and you cannot do both at once. A boss arrives every fifth wave so the pacing is a heartbeat, not a ramp.
