Shoot and blast your way through alien-infested mazes in Maze Blaze, a roguelike action shooter that’s intense both in color and gameplay. The goal is simple - enter the maze and gun down anything that stands between you and the exit. Your objective may always be the same but everything else is endlessly changing. Each maze is a procedurally generated level where the enemies, items, and the maze’s layout itself is random. Not a single corner you turn will be the same as the last time you entered. Progressively tougher alien foes will try to take you out once you enter their proximity so you better be ready to shoot first and ask questions later. Modifiers scattered around each maze will augment your abilities and shots. Each pick-up presents a unique choice that’ll define your play style. Simplicity is at the heart of Maze Blaze. It’s easy to jump into yet has enough depth to keep you playing. You can kick back in a long gaming session or just clear a couple of mazes when you’ve got a bit of downtime. No matter how you choose to play, you’ll always make progress. The more mazes you blast through, the more stuff you unlock. Mix and match your newly acquired powers and weapons to dive even further into the different game modes. Features: An Endless Maze of Possibilities - The gameplay is simple but the depth can be as complex as you want. Randomly generated mazes, enemies, and items make every playthrough its own, unexpected experience. Play Your Way - Clearing levels and bosses, or fight through endless waves of mazes. On your own or with a friend. How you play is your own choice. A Spectacle of Color - Take in a hyper-stylized, neon-color emblazoned Roguelike experience with captivating visuals that are stunning to look at yet never feel too overwhelming.

Take flight through time in TIME SQUADRON — a fast, relentless arcade shooter inspired by the golden age of coin-operated games. Pilot a lone fighter across a full 360-degree battlefield as enemy squadrons attack from every direction. Keep moving, keep firing and survive long enough to face the enormous war machine waiting at the end of each era. No complicated tutorials. No slow build-up. Just immediate arcade action, responsive controls and the constant temptation to chase one more high score. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Choose the visual style that matches your favourite era of gaming: CLASSIC 2D Hand-crafted sprites, smooth scrolling and the pure overhead spin-and-shoot gameplay of an authentic 1980s arcade cabinet. MODE 7 Experience the same battles across a rolling pseudo-3D horizon, inspired by the spectacular scaling and rotation effects of the 16-bit generation. Both modes use the same carefully tuned game system, but each has its own dedicated Game Center leaderboard. BATTLE ACROSS SIX ERAS Travel through more than a century of aerial warfare: 1912 — Dawn of Flight Fight fragile biplanes and bring down a gigantic war zeppelin. 1942 — Total War Battle fighter formations protecting a heavily armoured bomber. 1972 — Rolling Thunder Face aggressive combat helicopters hunting above the jungle. 1984 — Afterburner Survive high-speed attacks from powerful supersonic jets. 2003 — First Contact Defend the skies against fast and unpredictable UFO squadrons. 2028 — The Last Stand Confront a colossal multi-stage war machine in the ultimate battle. Every era introduces different enemies, attacks, weather conditions and a unique boss encounter. THIS IS NOT THE END Defeating the final boss is only the beginning. The timeline resets into a more dangerous reality, with stronger enemies and increasingly difficult battles. Fight through five escalating realities to uncover the complete story and discover what is really happening to the timeline. Only the best pilots will survive every loop.
