Description
About This Game
You don't unlock ships. You take them.
Every world ends with a boss. Shoot out its core and that core is reforged into your next fighter. Twelve worlds, one unbroken run, and a hangar that fills up with what you killed.
Every boss has real weak points: relays, anchors, roots, a throne. Hit those and the fight moves. Hit anything else and you are wasting shots. Light craft go down fast, so the pressure comes from formations and crossfire.
The core you just killed becomes a fighter with its own guns, dash and ultimate. Between worlds, switch to any fighter you have captured. The hitbox is the same on all of them, so what your hands learned carries over.
No menus mid-flight. The ground changes under you, a set piece lands every minute or so, and the exit distance is always on screen. Somewhere in the later worlds you will be pinging the dark to find archive whales.
A clean run through the main worlds is about an hour. That is on purpose. The game is in learning to fly it well.
Art and synthetic voice lines started from AI generation and were selected, cut out and hand-aligned; nothing is generated while the game runs.

Shoot the part that matters
Every boss has real weak points: relays, anchors, roots, a throne. Hit those and the fight moves. Hit anything else and you are wasting shots. Light craft go down fast, so the pressure comes from formations and crossfire.
Fly what you took
The core you just killed becomes a fighter with its own guns, dash and ultimate. Between worlds, switch to any fighter you have captured. The hitbox is the same on all of them, so what your hands learned carries over.
The run never stops
No menus mid-flight. The ground changes under you, a set piece lands every minute or so, and the exit distance is always on screen. Somewhere in the later worlds you will be pinging the dark to find archive whales.
