Galaxy Raze is a vertical space shooter built for one finger and short sessions. Hold anywhere to fire, drag to move, lift your finger to cool your guns. Simple to start, plenty to master. CAMPAIGN Sixty sectors across three worlds: the Orbital Yard, the Hive Yard and the Dark Forge. Clear the enemies, survive the timer, escort the cargo or grab the crystals, then face a boss every tenth sector: the Furnace, the Hive and the Forge. Every sector takes about a minute, and three stars wait for a clean run. YOUR SHIP, YOUR RULES Four ships with their own weapons: cryo that freezes and shatters, flame that burns up close, arc that jumps between enemies, and the Corsair that mixes them. Pick up weapons mid-fight, choose upgrades on the fly, and fit permanent mods in the shop: faster coils, heavy rounds, ablative plating, magnetic scoop and more. Paint your hull the way you like. COME BACK TOMORROW A daily challenge with a twist and three daily tasks pay extra alloy. Threat levels raise the stakes and the rewards. Game Center leaderboards track campaign stars, sectors cleared and your best raid; eleven achievements mark the road. MADE TO RESPECT YOU No energy timers. No account. Progress lives on your device and the game works offline. Optional alloy packs and a one-time Quantum Core exist for players who want them; nothing is needed to win. Analytics is off until you say yes. ACCESSIBILITY Dark, high-contrast interface, text that follows your system size, Reduce Motion support and a switch that dims flashes. An Explanations switch hides the extra text once you know the game. Available in 14 languages.
