## What is GateFire?

Dodge, blast, and upgrade your way through an endless neon gauntlet. GateFire is a fast, one-thumb arcade shooter built for quick runs — no tutorials, no waiting, just tap in and see how long you last.

YOUR SHIP FIRES ITSELF. YOU JUST HAVE TO SURVIVE.
Drag anywhere to move. Your ship auto-fires at everything in its path, so your only job is positioning — weave through incoming obstacles while lining up shots on the gates worth chasing.

EVERY GATE IS A CHOICE
Obstacles come from the right. Upgrade gates come in pairs from the left, and you only get one: a flat stat boost or a multiplier, more damage or faster fire rate. Shoot down the gate you want before it scrolls past — the one you skip is gone for good.

THE SWARM NEVER LETS UP
Difficulty ramps in real time. Obstacles get faster and denser at fixed milestones, and a bouncing threat keeps you honest between waves. The longer you survive, the harder GateFire pushes back.

FEATURES
• One-thumb drag controls — auto-fire means you never touch a button
• Risk/reward upgrade gates with real stat trade-offs
• Escalating difficulty that never plateaus
• Multiple selectable starfighters, picked before every run
• Game Center leaderboard — climb the ranks and compare your best run
• Runs built for a spare minute or ten — jump in anywhere

How far can you make it before the gates run out?
