## Answer Capsule

> Pyth Defender is a space shooter where live Pyth Price Feeds power the HUD and enemy labels in real time, while Pyth Entropy gates airdrop using a commit reveal scheme seeded from live confidence intervals. Players protect the Pyth oracle from the FUD Syndicate across 6 escalating waves - no install needed, plays in any browser.

## What It Does

Pyth Defender is a full arcade space shooter. Players pilot a PYTH ship defending the last oracle node from waves of Bear Whales, Crash Bots, and REKT Missiles - enemies named after real crypto chaos. Live BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB prices from Pyth Hermes update the HUD every 4 seconds and appear as floating price labels when enemies are destroyed. Pyth Entropy’s commit - reveal protocol (seeded from live price confidence intervals) determines when airdrops spawn and their rarity - shield bubbles, extra lives, and score bonuses; making every game session provably unpredictable.

## Pyth Features Used

- ✅ Price Feeds (off-chain via Pyth Hermes REST API)
