Blast through space with one finger. Your ship fires automatically. All you do is drag to dodge enemy bullets and aim at your targets. Simple to pick up, tense to master. 100 STAGES, 20 BOSSES Every 5th stage is a boss fight. Bosses don't just have big health bars — they raise shields and summon minions, spray spiral bullets, and charge straight at you. Break the shield, then unload everything you have. A NEW GIMMICK EVERY 5 STAGES Each section adds a new rule to the fight: - Enemies dash at you - Meteors rain down - Enemies teleport - Destroyed enemies split in two - Enemy bullets bounce off the screen edges - Enemies carry shields - Pick one of three power-ups before the stage - Make enemies stronger on purpose for a bigger reward Later sections combine them. UPGRADE ENDLESSLY Spend the coins you earn on attack, fire rate, multi shot, and max HP. Upgrades are permanent, so your ship keeps getting stronger. Special gear adds more: - Orbital Drone: circles your ship and auto-fires at enemies - Energy Barrier: absorbs damage for you - Mega Beam: one screen-clearing beam per stage MAKE IT YOURS 12 ship skins and 5 decorations, from engine flames to shield auras. Cosmetic only — no pay to win. NO STRESS - No forced ads (the 2x reward ad is always optional) - No in-app purchases - Plays offline - No account needed One stage on a short break, or all 100 in one sitting. Play at your own pace.
