About this game
Cylindrix puts two teams of three vehicles inside a cylindrical arena. Drive along its curved surface or switch into flight, fire lasers and missiles, and give orders to two AI wingmen. The tournament pits your team against ten groups of opponents; Custom Game lets you choose the arena, vehicles and teammates.
This unofficial restoration continues hyperlogic’s open-source port. It compiles the original game logic to WebAssembly and retains the original vehicles, graphics and sound effects. Later MP3 music and tournament movie sequences are not included.
Pilot records, cumulative statistics and keyboard settings are saved in this browser when local storage is available. An unfinished battle or tournament cannot be resumed after closing the page. Use the website player for fullscreen, sound and touch controls; original DOS joystick calibration and multiplayer links are not supported.

Quick tips
At the pilot menu, press Up to select an existing pilot and Enter to confirm, or create a pilot of your own. Choose Start Game, then Tournament Game or Custom Game.
Ctrl fires lasers and Space fires missiles. Tap S to switch between surface movement and flight; X uses your vehicle’s special weapon.
Hold a direction and an attack button together on touchscreens. Configure adjusts the shared touch layout; changing keys inside the game also requires matching those touch buttons.
At the results screen, Continue moves on; Output Stats offers a text report to download. Pilot statistics are stored automatically, but unfinished battles are not.
Sound starts muted. Switching tabs pauses the browser player; use Tap to continue when you return.
