About the Game

Aliens are attacking Earth. You pilot a ship built from nanobots — an adaptive machine that can evolve to match anything the invaders throw at you. Fight through waves of alien ships and push the war all the way back to their home world.

Features

  • Manage your shields carefully — take too many hits and you'll be left exposed, scrambling for cover while they recharge

  • Real momentum, real control — thrust, turn, and brake your way through enemy fire. Master it and you'll fly like you were born in the cockpit

  • Auto-fire your weapons and focus on flying, or switch to manual aim for twin-stick shooter control

  • Enemies drop nanobots when destroyed — collect them to upgrade your ship and evolve into something the aliens weren't prepared for
