Sway Galactic is a neon synthwave arena shooter built entirely from math — every ship, pilot, boss, and explosion is generated procedurally. No sprite sheets, no borrowed art. Just code, light, and sound. Drift through the deep, hold the line against escalating waves, and chase one more level before the void takes your light. FEATURES • Procedurally generated everything — ships, pilots, and bosses drawn from numbers, never the same twice • A reactive synthwave soundtrack that drives the visuals — the screen blooms on the beat • On-demand abilities — missile strikes and a reflective shield • Earn shards, unlock avatar and ship cosmetics, make the pilot yours • iPhone-first, one-thumb portrait controls • Six switchable palettes — Outrun, Miami, Cyber, Sunset, Vapor, Mono — each with its own track and mood "the void keeps every light it takes." WHAT'S NEW (version 1.0 release notes) First flight. Welcome to the deep.
