Three fighters that play nothing alike

IVORY HERON

A balanced fighter for first-time players. Its straight guns spread into a fan as they level up, homing missiles chase nearby enemies, and its carpet bombing burns for a long time and keeps clearing bullets.

GLACIER NEEDLE

A fast interceptor that slips through narrow gaps. Piercing needles run through small enemies, and its Absolute Zero bomb freezes everything except bosses and turns leftover bullets into medals.

SCARLET DUCHESS

A slow, heavily armed assault craft and the hardest hitter. Its close-range shotgun gets stronger the closer you fly, explosive rockets burn the area around a hit, and its short, powerful salvo bomb is made for boss hunting.

The Arc Lance

When the gauge reaches 100, all three fighters can fire the Arc Lance. Save yourself with a bomb or press the attack on a boss: that choice is yours.

Five stages and a final boss with three forms

Fight through COBALT STRAIT, EMBER FOUNDRY, VERDANT GORGE, AURORA SHELF and ZENITH CITADEL. Each stage has its own scenery, enemies and bosses, and a giant battleship blocks your way in the very first one.

At the end waits the HEPHAESTUS ENGINE. It starts as a flying fortress with its wings spread, folds them to rise as a colossus, then blows off its armor and fights on as a naked reactor, all in the middle of the battle.

How to play

  1. Choose a pilot and fighter and take off. Firing is automatic.
  2. On PC, move with the arrow keys or WASD and hold Shift to move slowly through tight gaps. On a phone, drag to move.
  3. In danger, press X for a bomb. It clears bullets and makes you invincible for a moment.
  4. When the gauge is full, press C for the Arc Lance. On a phone, use the buttons on the right of the screen.
  5. If it gets too hard, you can watch with the autopilot and speeds from x1 to x8.

Leaderboards and challenges

There are two boards: Today, which resets at midnight Korea time, and All Time. The server confirms each score by replaying your inputs from the start, so a score that was simply edited never gets on the board. Only runs at x1 speed without the autopilot count. Send a friend a challenge link with your score, and they play with it as their target.
