About the game

OpenTyrian is an open-source port of Tyrian, the arcade-style shooter set in the year 20,031. You play as fighter pilot Trent Hawkins, flying missions against MicroSol while upgrading weapons, shields, generators, and sidekicks between stages.

Pairing and controller ownership

• The display shows a QR code for the matching open-tyrian-c room.
• The first connected phone owns the single-player controls. A later phone waits until the owner leaves or stops announcing its presence for seven seconds.
• Refreshing the phone in the same browser can reclaim its active controls.
• The display releases all held keys when the controller disconnects, times out, or asks to release its inputs.

Controls

• Touch the large flight surface to move in any direction. Distance from its centre controls speed, and diagonal input blends both axes independently.
• OpenTyrian fires the main weapon and sidekicks automatically during play.
• Use the controller's dedicated Up and Down buttons for single-step menu navigation, then tap Select to confirm.
• Tap Menu to open or close game menus.
• Reset game restarts the game on the display.

A keyboard connected to the display can also use the arrow keys, Space, Enter, Ctrl, Alt, and Escape.
