About Dyson Defender

Fly around a Dyson sphere and stop alien waves before they reach it.

You fly a fighter around a Dyson sphere and stop alien waves before they damage it. Later waves add Shield Guardians and asteroids that can destroy the sphere outright.

Between waves you spend points on upgrades: laser capacitors, overclocked cannons, a reinforced hull, a shield lattice, regeneration and the Praetorian Lazer, a charged secondary beam. A stage picker lets you jump to any of the ten stages.

How Dyson Defender was made with AI

Built with Three.js for the 2025 Vibe Jam. The awesome-ai-built-games list credits Cursor, Claude and Grok; the game itself only credits its creator and the musician, REMNANT.EXE.

Made by @hankofalltrades.

  • Use the stage picker to practice later waves instead of grinding from stage 1 every run.
