Read full description

Shoot Your Way Out The raid has gone sideways. The drop zone is hot. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and the exit is on the other side of the map. Welcome to the operator's life. Shoot Your Way Out fuses three genres into one ruthless mobile experience: the top-down precision of classic arcade shooters, the build-defining choices of bullet-heaven survivors, and the high-stakes loot tension that punishes hesitation. Every raid is a contract. Every bullet matters. Every extraction is earned. Every raid starts you fresh. What you keep is what you earned. WHAT YOU'RE DROPPING INTO TOP-DOWN COMBAT โ€” Twin-stick controls. Pixel-art operators. Tight, responsive, no nonsense. REAL ARSENAL โ€” Rifles, pistols, grenades, rocket launchers. Each weapon shapes how you fight. Pick wrong and the raid eats you. MID-RAID BUILDS โ€” 25 unique skills with random level-up choices. Every pick changes the next minute. Replace the ones that don't fit. Build the operator your way โ€” every single raid. EARN AND CARRY โ€” Survive a raid and your earnings come home with you. Die and you keep what you took. Cash is the only thing that follows you out. THE FLEA MARKET โ€” Spend between raids on a rotating inventory of starters, support items, and tactical gear. 15 of 24 items refresh daily. Plan your loadout or wing it โ€” your call. DAILY DROP โ€” Show up every day and your reward stack grows. Streaks matter. Time matters. Show up like an operator. WHY THIS GAME Mobile shooters that respect your time and reward your decisions are rare. SYWO is built for the player who wants the tactical pull of an extraction shooter without the bloat โ€” runs that fit in your lunch break, choices that haunt you for hours, raids you'll replay because you got greedy on the way to the extract. No grind. No paywalled power. Just you, your kit, and the next raid. ONE-TIME PURCHASE The Operator License is a $4.99 optional upgrade that unlocks a permanent bonus to your daily login reward. Buy it once, keep it forever. No second-class players. FROM OSBURNLABS Independent. Player-first. Built without compromise. osburnlabs.com

About

Ashfall Squad

Features
Read full description

The city fell. Your squad did not. Ashfall Squad is a fast zombie survival game you can play with one thumb. Lead a squad of three heroes into the ruins, hold the line against endless hordes, and grow stronger with every run. FIVE-MINUTE RUNS, ENDLESS CHOICES Your heroes fire on their own. You move them. Every level-up offers three cards and you keep one: new weapons, passives and upgrades. Max a weapon and pair it with the right passive to evolve it into something much stronger. SWAP HEROES MID-FIGHT Your squad is three heroes, and any of them can take the lead. The Gunner shreds crowds, the Medic keeps everyone standing, the Demo blows the horde apart. When a hero goes down, the next one steps up. GIANT BOSSES Every sector ends with a boss: the Warlord, the Behemoth, Patient Zero and the Abomination. Learn their patterns and take them down. 20 SECTORS, THEN HARD MODE Fight from the suburbs to the highway, through the mall and the subway, all the way to the lab where it started. Clear them all, then take them on again in Hard mode. BUILD YOUR SQUAD Six heroes to unlock and level up, each with four forms. Six gear slots and five rarities, with merging to reach the next tier. Field Training turns spare gold into permanent upgrades. Chest odds are always shown before you open one. SOMETHING TO DO EVERY DAY Your squad patrols the wasteland while you are away and brings home gold, keys and gear. Daily Ops with a new Weekly Op every week, missions, a login calendar, a 7-day Boot Camp event for new players, a battle pass, and Game Center leaderboards. Optional reminders tell you when your energy or Patrol is full. PLAY FREE Everything in the game can be earned by playing. Ads are optional rewarded ads, plus an occasional short ad between runs after the first few sectors. Ads are never personalized, and the game does not track you. Optional in-app purchases are available. There are no subscriptions: every purchase is a one-time payment, and the Monthly and Weekly Cards never renew. Questions or feedback: temveno@gmail.com
