About

Harrier

Read full description

Harrier: Call to Light is a modern homage to classic top-down action shooters like Raptor: Call of the Shadows. Fight through waves of enemies, defeat powerful bosses, and collect cash to upgrade your ship or unlock entirely new ones. After each stage, you'll enter the store menu where you can invest your earnings into firepower or durability — preparing you for the increasingly intense biomes ahead. Biomes cycle infinitely, and your run ends when you're defeated. Your score is calculated based on your remaining cash, encouraging strategic spending and survival. Features: - Classic arcade-style action with modern controls - Boss fights after every stage - Offline high score list that saves your top 3 runs - Upgrades and ship unlock system between stages - Infinite biome cycling for endless replayability
