Galactic Grudge is a fast, one-thumb arcade space shooter built for iOS 26. The bosses never forget: they keep score, taunt you by name, and the one that's beaten you most becomes your nemesis. ONE THUMB, ZERO MERCY Drag anywhere and your ship follows, firing while your finger is down. Lift it and time crawls, so you can pick your line. CAMPAIGN Six handcrafted sectors and 30 missions, each sector guarded by a colossal boss. Earn five medals on every level: Clear, Ace, Flawless, Sweep and the level's own Signature, on Easy, Medium and Hard. Lose, and the card shows exactly how close you came. And past the Warlord, something waits. BOSSES WITH A GRUDGE All six bosses are rebuilt from scratch. They watch you, laugh when you're hit and crack apart as the fight turns. Beat your nemesis and it comes back angrier. THE DAILY RUN AND THE WEEKLY GRUDGE Every day, one run that's the same for everyone, with a new twist: eight waves and a boss in about three minutes. Every week, one boss, one twist, one clock. Kill it faster than everyone else before Monday. ENDLESS No sectors, no checkpoints: an ever-escalating swarm, with a boss every ten waves. One more wave. Always. WEAPONS, POWER-UPS AND THE STASH Five guns, from Single Shot to Plasma Nova, and every W powers yours up. Grab shields, repairs, rapid fire, slow time, combat drones, extra lives and double score. Smart Bombs and the new Seeker Swarm wait in your stash: lift your finger, then tap one to let it go. OVERDRIVE Near misses charge your overdrive. Fill it for faster fire and double score, and chain kills to keep the combo alive. PILOT RANK AND THE HANGAR Every run earns XP, win or lose. Rank up for new engine glows and titles the bosses will use against you, and master sectors to unlock six hulls. GAME CENTER Leaderboards for campaign, endless, boss times, daily and weekly runs, and 56 achievements to chase with friends. Your progress follows you through iCloud.
