Shoot the drones rising over the night city before they escape: tap or type the letter, but never hit a bomb drone!
About the game
Drone Hunter is a shooting game that tests your reflexes and your typing speed at the same time. Searchlights sweep over a night city while drones rise between the buildings, and your turret has to bring them down before they reach the escape line at the top. Every drone carries a lock-on marker and a letter tag; on a phone you tap the drone, on a computer you press that letter key to fire. Hit drones burst apart in sparks and debris. Gold drones are fast but worth five times the points, and hitting a blue EMP drone slows everything down for a few seconds. Never shoot the red bomb drones with a warning sign, because hitting one costs you a strike. Hits in a row build a combo multiplier up to x5, and every 25 hits a swarm of six drones attacks at once. As time goes on the drones get faster, come more often and bring more bombs. Normal mode gives you five strikes and Hardcore gives you three with a much faster start. Green, crimson and gold tracer colors unlock as your best score climbs. It is also great typing practice. It is free and plays in the browser with no download.
