About the Game

Lieutenant Lani Goodspeed, callsign "Tango-2-6," of the First Squadron, Third Orbital Defense Regiment, graduated with honors from the Earth Alliance Space Forces Flight Academy.

Upon graduation, she joins her unit aboard the carrier called "Star Carrier" to begin her service.

Two days later, she embarks on her first combat mission…

  • Gameplay

    Implementation of planetary and space battles in 2D side-scrolling shooter mechanics. You will experience various flight modes, high-speed maneuvering through obstacles, aerial and space combat, engaging enemy forces, providing cover for allied troops, and storming fortified enemy positions.

  • Storyline

    An alien race of mechanoids has invaded Earth, dragging humanity into a space war for its own planet. The campaign follows strike pilot Lani Goodspeed from her first combat sortie to the final decisive battle against the alien aggressor.

  • Missions

    Military command has devised a plan to liberate the Solar System. Several strike groups, supported by regular army forces, will engage the enemy over the course of five missions. The primary objective of the units is to prevent the enemy from gaining a foothold on our planet and in near-Earth orbit.

  • Enemies

    At present, we have identified the primary hierarchy and classification of the enemy's frontline forces:

    Class 1 & 2: standard assault squads that operate alone or in small groups.

    Class 3: transport units that deploy assault troops and serve as heavily armed, reinforced combat units in their own right.

    The enemy possesses technological superiority over humanity, advanced weaponry, modular interchangeable structures, and a complex unit hierarchy. Every battle against them is a serious test.

  • Bossfights

    Class 4—Titan Class: resource extraction stations. Complex structures consisting of multiple Class 3 units. Defeating them requires identifying their weak points and employing special tactics.

  • Fighter

     

    The SRJF S-600 M23 "Interceptor" is a cutting-edge short-range jet fighter. It serves as the primary combat unit of orbital defense and can also fulfill a support aircraft role. Capable of operating both in the atmosphere and beyond, though only within a limited range of its carrier ship.

  • Weapons and bonuses

    The Interceptor is equipped with the latest energy-based weapon systems, featuring various modes of operation. Additionally, it can integrate with external and remote modules to enhance firepower or provide other tactical advantages.

  • And remember: your forces are not infinite!
