FEATURES • Procedurally generated everything — ships, pilots, and bosses drawn from numbers, never the same twice • A reactive synthwave soundtrack that drives the visuals — the screen blooms on the beat • On-demand abilities — missile strikes and a reflective shield • Earn shards, unlock avatar and ship cosmetics, make the pilot yours • iPhone-first, one-thumb portrait controls • Six switchable palettes — Outrun, Miami, Cyber, Sunset, Vapor, Mono — each with its own track and mood "the void keeps every light it takes."
