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.

Original material & repair notesCylindrix · 1995 game / community source port
Goldtree Enterprises released Cylindrix for DOS in 1995. Our work continues hyperlogic's cross-platform source port and its existing renderer, rather than recreating the game from screenshots.
One repair, in context
- The problem
- Later tournament stages referenced model files with DOS-style separators. Those paths did not resolve correctly in the browser filesystem.
- The change
- Level-record paths are normalized for the browser build. The existing game simulation and the original level data remain in use.
Custom matches reached natural wins/losses. All ten tournament transitions were checked using the original debug shortcut, not a naturally played full campaign. The owner reported an Android test; iOS remains untested.

Quick tips

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.
