Overview

Surge for Oinja (surge-for-oinja) is an electrifying, third-person 3D survival game set in the Oinja universe, built natively for web browsers using TypeScript, Three.js, and Rapier3D. Featuring automatic attacks and intense crowd control, players maneuver across two expansive industrial maps—Old Harbor Workshop and Tidal Observatory—combining electrical abilities, companion drones, and facility upgrades to survive escalating mechanical swarms and defeat formidable bosses.

How It Works

Surge for Oinja operates through structured, deterministic execution stages:

Third-Person Electrical Combat: Channels chain lightning, shock fists, and electromagnetic discharges against relentless mechanical swarms.

Synergistic Modular Builds: Combines four active ability slots with companion drones and autonomous weapons that trigger reactive elemental combos.

Dual Interactive Facility Maps: Restores power relays, orbital cannons, and workshop hoists across Old Harbor and Tidal Observatory zones.

Auto-Attack With Active Movement: Automates primary firing while requiring active dodging, crowd kiting, and timed Sync Burst execution.

Two Expansive 3D Maps: Navigates vertical alleys and cargo yards in Old Harbor Workshop, or circles open waterways and observation towers in Tidal Observatory.

Automated Firing & Precision Kiting: Focuses player input on tactical positioning, dodging incoming swarms, upgrade selection, and timing the tide-turning Sync Burst.
