The campaign

Built for the perfect run

A pure score-attack shoot-em-up. No filler, no waiting, just you, your ship, and a screen full of bullets to read.

🚀

Deep-space campaign

Twelve sectors and a true EX-13 finale, from the Orbital Ring to Oracle Prime. Every sector ends in a massive boss.

👾

14 enemy types

Linear Drifters, cloaking Phantoms, mine-dropping Bombers, healing Clerics, laser Pyros and bullet-deflecting Splicers. Each one needs its own counter.

☄️

15 boss encounters

Three boss families across fifteen fights, each with three phases of spiral bursts, radial fans, laser beams and split mechanics.

🌱

Skill tree & upgrades

Spend stars on permanent power: extra drones, wider pickups, bomb-freeze, weapon overdrive and more. Build a run that fits your style.

Graze & combo scoring

Skim enemy bullets at near-miss range for bonus score, and keep kill chains alive to reach a x3.0 combo. Risk pays.

🃏

Draft & EVOLVE

Weapon drops reshape your loadout mid-run, and EVOLVE cards let you tier up or swap on the fly. No two runs play the same.

Know your enemy

Three families of doom

Fifteen bosses, three bloodlines. Learn their tells, survive their phases, and break them apart.

👁️
Sentinels

Eye-cannon turrets that lock on and pin you to the edges of the screen.

🛸
Dreadnoughts

Hulking war cruisers that flood the field with overlapping bullet rain.

🐙
Hydra

Cephalopod horrors that split apart and swarm you from every angle.

A look inside

Neon, dense, and razor sharp

From the sector map to the heat of a boss fight, every screen is tuned to read fast at full speed.
