Enter the rift and prove your reflexes across 10 increasingly dangerous levels. Asterlynx: Rift Run is a fast-paced portrait arcade game built for quick missions and repeat high-score runs. Guide your ship through shifting asteroid fields, collect energy, and react to hazards before the rift closes in. SURVIVE AN ESCALATING RUN Every level raises the pressure with faster hazards and denser patterns. Face multiple asteroid types, space mines, moving laser barriers, and boss encounters as you fight your way to the final level. TURN POWER-UPS INTO AN ADVANTAGE Collect shields to absorb collisions. Pull nearby energy toward your ship with the magnet, slow the action when the field becomes overwhelming, and activate double score to push your run further.

Expand your hangar with new ships as your pilot level grows. CHASE YOUR NEXT RECORD Save your best scores on your device and enter your pilot name.
