About

Vesper Drift

Features
Read full description

Dodge close, charge your Nova and head into the next expedition. Move your ship with a finger while it fires automatically. Learn to read incoming patterns, progress through expeditions and return for the daily challenge. Movement is relative to your finger, with no virtual joystick covering the action. FREE FLIGHT AND EXPEDITIONS The endless run is free, with no attempt limit. Graze projectiles, trigger Nova and pick up four temporary Blooms. Nine deterministic expeditions offer objectives and permanent medals: the first three are free, while the other six are included in Vesper Mastery. DAILY CHALLENGE The Drift of the Day uses a shared seed until midnight UTC. You get one ranked attempt each day. Its Game Center leaderboard is separate from the endless board; the local leaderboard works offline. VESPER MASTERY Mastery is an optional one-time in-app purchase. It unlocks six advanced expeditions, the Cycle Chamber for replaying a cycle you have reached, and drift codes for replaying a specific track. Practice flights stay in your history and never submit a ranked score. If you owned Vesper Drift before version 1.1.0, your entitlement remains available without another purchase. Play offline, without forced ads, an account, tracking or a subscription. Sharing a result card is your choice; it contains no player identity.
