About the Game

Without warning, a mysterious enemy force strikes the galaxy, leaving shattered fleets and burning worlds in its path. As one of the last capable starship pilots, you must push back against overwhelming odds and uncover the source of the invasion.

Pilot your starship through battles against an increasingly difficult horde of enemies while collecting an arsenal of automatically-firing weapons, allowing you to focus on maneuvering, positioning, and survival. Destroy enemies, collect experience crystals, and grow stronger as the enemy forces increase in intensity and more dangerous types appear.

Core Features:

  • Pilot multiple unique starships, each with a distinct main weapon that can be toggled between manual and autofire

  • Collect experience during runs to choose and enhance your ship's stats and weapons

  • Utilize auto-firing weapons that scale and evolve into more powerful forms

  • Fight a rapidly increasing swarm of enemies and take on boss encounters to test your build and piloting skills

  • Upgrade your ships and unlock new weapons between runs with rogue-lite progression
