Your past is your most powerful weapon...

ECHO DRIFT is an endless neon arena shooter with a second version of you on the battlefield. Your echo follows the path you took and repeats the shots you fired. Aim carefully, keep moving, and turn your past into crossfire.

Survive increasingly dangerous waves, face a boss and its escorts every third round, and choose protocols that change how you fight.

Manual aim and fire: Mouse controls on desktop, twin sticks on touchscreens.

21 protocols with repeatable ranks: Build around burning shots, frostbite, poison, chain lightning, dash sparks, shields, healing, and more.

Five rotating boss types: Rings, volleys, charging attacks, summoned reinforcements, and spirals.

Endless progression: every upgrade also strengthens your weapon, with excess visual effects converted into damage at higher ranks.

Local saves and personal bests: Continue between waves on the same browser and device.

Synthesized music and sound: No installation required.

Pickups

Green shards give 25 score each. Every 10 shards restore 1 HP if you are damaged, or award 100 bonus score if you are already at full health. Pink health packs are occasional extra drops; they stay on the field while you are at full health. Remaining pickups are collected when the wave is cleared.

Saves are stored locally in your browser. Clearing browser data, changing browsers, or using another device can remove or separate your progress.
