About this game
This game is a homage to the classic space shooters of the 1980s — but with a modern roguelite twist!
An alien menace has descended from the skies to attack planet Earth!
Thankfully, the planetary army has an ace up its sleeve. Using a secret new technology, they send a gifted pilot named Kyle Treston to intercept the invaders.
Battle your way through six distinct space environments, blasting waves of enemies with a variety of primary guns and secondary weapons. Collect materials to craft upgrades on the fly, and earn credits to buy powerful buffs for your ship in the space shop at the end of each run!
Your ship automatically moves upward one row at a time, but you can advance faster if you dare… just make sure the enemies don’t reach the bottom of the screen, or your run is over!
Features
6 environments, from asteroid belts to deep caves and fiery volcanoes!
8 ships to unlock and upgrade!
5 primary weapons to collect and enhance during your journey!
Missiles, split-bombs, and shields to help you survive overwhelming alien waves!
12 chapters of randomly generated levels!
Story cutscenes revealing Kyle’s mission, the mysterious technology he’s using, and the truth behind the alien invasion!
