The game itself is currently in German. An English version is planned.

Three ways to fly

Every mode plays differently — from the classic climb to an open star system, solo or with two players. A fourth mode is in development.

Arcade

Climb sector by sector. Every five sectors a guardian awaits, and in sector 50, the Core.

Orbit

An open star system of three rings: mine ore, trade at stations, secure zones, pass through the gate to the Core. Aim with the mouse or right stick — or let the auto-aim do it.

Co-op

Arcade and Orbit for two — on one screen or online with a room code, each with your own ship. Shared lives, your own weapons — and a lot more incoming fire.

In development

Track

Your own song is meant to drive the enemies, patterns and firepower. In development — coming in a later update.

Six weapons. Eighteen paths.

Every weapon grows over fifteen levels. At level 5 you choose one of three upgrade paths, from level 10 its improved form is within reach, and in focus each one switches into its own mode — two flights with the same weapon rarely end the same way.

Railgun

Pulse Gun

Precise volleys straight ahead. Medium range, medium rate, medium damage — the yardstick the others are measured against. More barrels with every level.

Railgun Core · Frost Cannon · Incendiary Core

Chaos

Heavy Gun

A shotgun. It charges for a long time, then strikes once: a wide fan of heavy pellets that pass through enemies and knock them back. The charge time is shown on the ship.

Mirror Storm · Cascade · Flak

Beam

Ion Laser

A continuous beam with no travel time. It has to build up: cold it is weak, after four seconds on the same target it burns five times as hot. In return it holds only two targets at once — and every switch cools it down again.

Sun Lance · Prism · Cutting Torch

Hunter

Homing Missiles

Always exactly one missile at a time, but with real punch. It seeks its target and takes everything around the impact with it. The motor burns out: at full distance it hits weaker.

Interceptor Swarm · Rocket Reprise · Cluster Bomb

Snake

Snake Gun

A single projectile that snakes through the air and passes through enemies. Every hit applies decay: damage over three seconds that stacks with every further hit. Very long range, homing from level 2.

Strangler · Hydra · Viper

Swarm

Drone Swarm

The drones nibble at everything nearby on their own. In focus the whole swarm dives onto a single target and strikes with full force — afterwards each drone recharges for a second and a half. Without a command, only a fraction lands.

Lightning Drones · Fire Drones · Frost Drones

Every flight counts

Whatever you collect in a run, you keep. Many short flights add up to a long journey.

Hangar & ship level

Ions from every flight turn into permanent upgrades, new weapons and equipment. Every flight also raises your ship level, which opens up new weapons and upgrades.

Element stones & talents

Element stones from special trials strengthen one specific upgrade path. Talents, earned with the weapon itself, boost it from the very first shot.

Skill tree & boons

During a run you decide what your ship becomes: skill points, boons with set bonuses and your choice of path.

Achievements

48 goals across all flights — some pay out ions for the arsenal or unlock the starting companion and a mutator.
