About

Terra Phoenix

One thumb. One ship that grows. One firebird that burns it all down. Terra Phoenix is a vertical arcade shooter built for short, explosive runs. Drag to move. Your ship fires on its own. You dodge, rescue and devastate. YOUR SHIP BUILDS ITSELF MID-FLIGHT Rescue the support ships with the blinking gold light and dock their modules: Twin Cannon, Wings, Phoenix Tail and Core. Every piece changes your ship and your firepower. Take a hit and you lose a piece, not the run. Grab it back in time and strike again. PHOENIX MODE Complete the formation, fill the NOVA meter and become an invincible firebird. Six seconds where nothing touches you and everything burns. NOVA: ATTACK AND DEFENSE Graze enemy bullets to charge NOVA. At half charge, unleash a shockwave that wipes out bullets and damages everything it touches. THREE WEAPONS, ONE SPLIT-SECOND CHOICE Blaster, Rockets or Missiles. Weapon pods swap your main gun the instant you touch them. Choose fast. Sometimes you will regret it. 4 SHIPS, 4 PLAYSTYLES Phoenix, Guardian, Dreadnought and Interceptor. Balanced, forgiving, heavy or fast and fragile. Unlock them by playing and level up their mastery. 8 SECTORS AND A MOTHERSHIP Every sector ends with a Mothership: a winged fortress with an eye that follows you. Learn its patterns, then take it down. After the campaign comes Endless Mode: you versus your own high score. COME BACK EVERY DAY Daily directives, a 7-day streak, permanent challenges and a Weekly Gauntlet with new rules and the same base loadout for everyone. Skill, not wallet. UPGRADE YOUR HANGAR The scrap you collect is yours, win or lose. Spend it on power, defense, NOVA and economy upgrades. NO ADS. NO PURCHASES. NO INTERNET. Truly free. Everything unlocks by playing, and it all works offline. Available in English, Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, French, Portuguese, Italian and German. Contact: aidoapps@deoleza.com
