■ A crash-landed pilot's fight for survival You are the pilot from the shoot-'em-up VALIX. After destroying the enemy mothership, your ship crash-lands on an unknown world. Hold out against endless waves of an alien living swarm, escape 7 planets, and make it back to Earth. ■ One-finger survival action Drag to move — your weapons fire automatically. No aiming required; focus purely on dodging and building. Runs last 5-10 minutes, and every death makes you permanently stronger. ■ Builds that grow endlessly • Max out a weapon and pair the right passive to evolve it into a stronger form • Four build synergies that trigger automatically when your combo lines up • Pick one of three upgrade cards on every level up • Permanent upgrades that carry over between runs ■ Elements matter — what you shoot with decides the fight Five elements (fire, ice, electric, acid, physical), and every planet has its own weakness and resistance. Hit a weakness and damage spikes; bring a resisted element and enemies simply won't die. Grab a weapon that works on this planet from treasure chests. ■ Every planet is a different battlefield • 7 planets across 28 regions • Planet hazards (lava, poison fog, ice, quicksand) and sweeping environmental events • 7 unique bosses, each with its own patterns and signature attack • Cover obstacles, destructibles, treasure chests, elite enemies ■ Rescue stranded allies Recover distress pods dropped across the battlefield and survivors join your formation to fight alongside you. The more you rescue, the stronger your next launch. ■ Reach Earth — and beyond Returning to Earth ends the story, but you can take on a new loop if you want. Each loop makes enemies tougher while raising your firepower and upgrade caps to match. ■ Pure dopamine Kill combos, instant power-ups (nova, rapid fire, magnet), and treasure-chest jackpots — bullet storms and explosions filling the screen. Chase records with leaderboards and achievements. Launch now and begin your journey home to Earth! * Free to play with ads. The game itself plays offline; an internet connection is only needed for ads and leaderboards.
