You are a triangle. The arena fills. Survive sixty seconds and the boss walks in — the shape with one more side than you. Beat it, and you become it. Every vertex is a weapon mount. Ascend from triangle to square to pentagon and beyond, into stars, star polygons, mandalas and the solids — each form multiplies your whole arsenal, and each boss is the next you. ONE THUMB. Kite, collect, and pick your draft between rounds. Sixty-second rounds, a run in ten minutes, a deep climb in an hour. RESONANCE. Every climb pays flux; flux buys permanent Resonance — sharper edges, a harder hull, faster blood. The ladder remembers your best form and lets you start from it. THREATS AND BOUNTIES. Four threat levels, a Wanted ladder that stacks handicaps for more flux, relic chests with real downsides, daily signals, seasonal skins. No account. Plays offline. Your save follows you through iCloud. Ads are optional, rewarded and never personalised. Game Center achievements and leaderboards.
