About PewPew Live
PewPew Live is a fast twin-stick shooter built around one thing: getting the highest score you can. Its retro-futurist vector graphics glow in bright neon lines, and enemies and power-ups come at you thick and fast.
There are five game modes to choose from, plus plenty of power-ups to grab. As you play, you earn new ships, bullet styles and trails to change how you look. Scores go on an online leaderboard that includes replays, so you can see exactly how a top run was played.
It runs smoothly, supports high-refresh monitors, and is still being developed, with new features and fixes arriving regularly. You can play PewPew Live online here, and try PewPew Live free in a desktop browser.
How to Play PewPew Live
- Press Play on the main menu. The first run opens with a short intro that you can skip.
- Click inside the game window first, then use the keyboard and mouse.
- Move your ship to dodge enemies while aiming your shots in a separate direction, the way twin-stick shooters work.
- Grab power-ups whenever it's safe to reach them.
- Try each of the five game modes to find your favorite.
- Post your best score to the online leaderboard and watch replays of other players' runs.
What to Expect in PewPew Live
PewPew Live is pure arcade score chasing. Runs last a few minutes, the action is fast and difficult, and the leaderboard gives every attempt a number to beat. The neon vector look is clean, so even when the screen gets busy you can still tell what's what.
Earning new ships, bullets and trails gives you something to work toward beyond the score itself. Because the game is still in active development, it keeps changing, with new features showing up over time.
Tips for PewPew Live
- Never stop moving. In a twin-stick shooter, your position matters as much as your aim.
- Grab power-ups when it's safe, not when reaching one puts you in the path of a swarm.
- Watch top replays on the leaderboard to see how the best players move.
- Stick with one game mode until you're comfortable before trying the others.
- If your monitor runs above 60Hz, the game takes advantage of it, so a high-refresh screen makes it feel even smoother.

FAQ
Is PewPew Live free?
Yes. PewPew Live is free to play here in a desktop browser, with nothing to install. Press Play, skip the intro if you like, and start chasing a high score. Your best runs can go on the online leaderboard alongside everyone else's, complete with replays.
How do you play PewPew Live?
Click inside the game window, then use the keyboard and mouse. As in any twin-stick shooter, you move your ship one way and aim your shots another. Dodge enemies, grab power-ups, and keep your score climbing. Five game modes give you different ways to play.
What is the goal in PewPew Live?
The goal is the highest score you can manage. Each run lasts a few minutes, and your result can go on an online leaderboard with replays. Along the way you earn new ships, bullets and trails, which gives you a reason to keep coming back for another run.
Who made PewPew Live?
PewPew Live was made by an independent developer who publishes on itch.io as jyaif, and it's still in active development. It was built with SDL. FunClicker did not make it; we embed the creator's own web version so you can play it here.
Can I play PewPew Live on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook with a keyboard should run it well, since PewPew Live is a smooth 2D game, and a mouse helps with aiming. On a phone this browser version is a poor fit, because it expects keyboard and mouse input for moving and aiming at the same time.
Is PewPew Live unblocked at school?
PewPew Live needs only a browser tab, with no download or plugin. Whether PewPew Live unblocked access works on a school or library network depends on that network's filter, which we do not control. The online leaderboard also needs the network to allow it.
How many modes does PewPew Live have?
PewPew Live has five game modes, each putting a different spin on the same fast, twin-stick action. Trying them all is a good way to find the one that suits you, and switching modes keeps things fresh when you've been chasing the same score for a while.
Can I customize my ship in PewPew Live?
Yes. As you play, you earn new ships, bullet styles and trails, so your look changes the more you play. They sit on top of the score chase and give you something extra to work toward between leaderboard attempts, especially once your scores start to level off.
