Blitz: Last Stand is a relentless top-down roguelite wave shooter where you fight through 100 escalating waves of warfare — building your arsenal, upgrading your operator, and surviving what shouldn't be survivable.
Choose from 6 elite operators, each with a unique playstyle: stealth assassin, heavy weapons specialist, agile breacher, fire support, guerrilla saboteur, or demolitions expert.
Built entirely in HTML5 Canvas with vanilla JavaScript — no game engine — as a solo project demonstrating what's possible without frameworks.
