Swipe War is a battlefield, army vs army strategy game; Swipe War is loosely based on a paper war game played with a pencil by children from the 1970s. To start, players purchase and deploy an army with 40 points. Units have varied costs and abilities, so arrange your army on the battlefield as desired. The player’s army is positioned on the bottom half of the battlefield and they will always swipe up at the enemy army, which is deployed at the top of the battlefield. Play types include pass and play, play against your phone, and the main game: "Ranked Wars" is played over the cloud.
Sand Fleet

You’re a spaceship pilot on a risky journey across the wastelands of a dying planet. Collect resources, take down enemies, and fly as far as you can. If you don’t make it back to base with your loot, you lose everything and start over. What to expect: - Tactical planning: choose your loadout wisely — fuel, ammo, recon drones, escape pods. How far you make it depends on what you bring. - Procedural generation: abandoned cities, enemy ships, secret bases, and rare evacuation points — every run tells a different story. - Risk vs. reward: the farther you go from the base, the more valuable the resources, but the danger grows. Reach an evacuation point to keep your loot. Die before that, and you lose everything. - Progression system: fly the farthest to become the top pilot and a legend of the corporation. - Diverse loot: find special containers and unlock them between runs to gain valuable bonuses. - Atmospheric visuals: pixel art inspired by the post-apocalyptic aesthetic. The game is built on classic gaming principles: focus, situational awareness, and learning from your mistakes matter most. Plan each flight carefully — it’s the only way to set new records. Do you have what it takes to become the top pilot of the wasteland? The game is difficult, so don’t stress if you don’t succeed on your first try. Got ideas for improvement?
