Three levels, not three lanes
Street, elevated walkway and rooftop. Jump to climb, drop to fall back down, slide under the barriers you cannot clear. There is always a route through, and you decide when to take it.

FiDo‑5
Run. Shoot. Survive. Upgrade.
A pixel-art side‑scrolling shooter set in Neo City. You are an elite operative, and you go at your own pace. FiDo‑5 is your combat drone — it fights beside you, fetches loot crates and cracks them open, and pulls you out when a hit would have finished the run.
Free, no download, no sign‑in. Plays in the browser on phone, tablet or desktop. Best on a phone held sideways.
The idea
You and FiDo‑5 against the endless assault
Neo City runs on three levels and you can move between all of them. Ground level is safest. The rooftops pay best. Everything in between is a decision.
A drone that earns its keep
FiDo‑5 picks its own targets, finishes wounded enemies, hoovers up coins and scans crates open. Give it an Attack, Support or Utility core to change how it behaves.
The rescue
Take a lethal hit and FiDo‑5 throws itself in front of you with an emergency shield. It works once, then needs time to recharge. Spend it wisely.
Loot worth the risk
Crates sit in the awkward places. Elite enemies drop keys, keys open vaults, vaults pay for upgrades. Or play it safe and just survive longer.
Keep what you earn
Coins, weapon tiers, operative stats and drone upgrades all persist between runs, saved in your browser. Missions and daily rewards give you something to chase.
Built to be light
Hand-drawn pixel art on a plain canvas, original synthesised audio, no engine and no third-party code. It loads fast and keeps working offline.

About this build
FiDo‑5 is an in-house project by Civil Digital, built to exercise the same things we do for clients: tight scope, a real deliverable, and no unnecessary dependencies. Every sprite, sound and line of code in it is original. It stores progress in your own browser and sends nothing anywhere.
