FIND YOUR FLOW Steer with the joystick, line up your cannons and fire through the chaos.

BUILD YOUR FIREPOWER Unlock double and triple cannons, continuous fire and health storage. Grab health pickups and invincibility gems to keep your run alive. Call in Rocket Buddy for two wing drones that send extra shots outward beside your ship. CHOOSE YOUR NEXT ADVANTAGE Pick from three perks between sectors. Faster bullets, longer shields, coin magnets, gold asteroids, stronger healing, quicker Warp recharge and combo bonuses can change the way you fly.
