About

GateFire

Features
Read full description

Dodge, blast, and upgrade your way through an endless neon gauntlet. GateFire is a fast, one-thumb arcade shooter built for quick runs — no tutorials, no waiting, just tap in and see how long you last. YOUR SHIP FIRES ITSELF. YOU JUST HAVE TO SURVIVE. Drag anywhere to move. Your ship auto-fires at everything in its path, so your only job is positioning — weave through incoming obstacles while lining up shots on the gates worth chasing. EVERY GATE IS A CHOICE Obstacles come from the right. Upgrade gates come in pairs from the left, and you only get one: a flat stat boost or a multiplier, more damage or faster fire rate. Shoot down the gate you want before it scrolls past — the one you skip is gone for good. THE SWARM NEVER LETS UP Difficulty ramps in real time. Obstacles get faster and denser at fixed milestones, and a bouncing threat keeps you honest between waves. The longer you survive, the harder GateFire pushes back. FEATURES • One-thumb drag controls — auto-fire means you never touch a button • Risk/reward upgrade gates with real stat trade-offs • Escalating difficulty that never plateaus • Multiple selectable starfighters, picked before every run • Game Center leaderboard — climb the ranks and compare your best run • Runs built for a spare minute or ten — jump in anywhere How far can you make it before the gates run out?
