Blockader

About Blockader

Blockader turns a small circular arena into a busy survival challenge. Strange space creatures rush toward you from different directions. Your weapon fires automatically, so your main job is to move and survive.

Each run develops through random upgrade choices. You can improve attacks, add special effects, strengthen defense, or build around a specific strategy. Later waves test whether your choices work well together.

Surviving the Lunar Hordes in Blockader

Enter the First Wave

Move around the arena with WASD or Arrow Keys. Your character attacks automatically.

Keep moving while watching the enemy positions. As more enemies appear, find the widest open route. Move around the ring instead of cutting directly through enemy groups.

Clear the Wave

Continue moving while your automatic attacks eliminate nearby enemies. Watch the Sniper and avoid predictable movement when its attacks become dangerous.

Choose an Upgrade

After clearing a wave, upgrade cards appear. Read the effects before choosing one.

Look for cards that support your current build. 

  • Choose Cards: 1, 2, 3, 4. 
  • Reroll Cards: Space

Extra attacks can help against groups. Special effects can add new damage types. Defensive upgrades become useful when later waves leave less room to move.

Improve Your Long-Term Build

Collect stars during your runs. Use them to unlock gear and skill-tree upgrades. If your damage is already serious, consider improving defense or utility. 

  • Open Stats: Tab
  • Pause: Esc

Why Blockader Keeps You Playing 

FeatureWhat It Adds
Six Playable Characters

Lucky, Byte, Spark, Orbit, Sludge, and Spike offer different ways to approach a run. Lucky is available from the start, while the others give you more options as you progress.

100+ Upgrade Cards

The large card pool keeps runs from feeling identical. Cards can change your attack pattern, add special effects, or improve survival.

Four Card RaritiesCards come in different rarity levels. A rare card can offer a strong effect, but rarity does not automatically make it useful for every build.
Gear and Skill Tree

Stars provide progression beyond individual waves. Gear can strengthen different parts of your character, while the skill tree lets you develop specific branches.

Eight Enemy Danger Tiers

Melee enemies become more dangerous as the run continues. Stronger waves reduce the amount of safe space available.
