NEON SKY
Read full descriptionHide full description
GRAZE TO GROW STRONGER The aurora barrier that shielded the world — the Neon Sky — has been torn open by a dimensional rift. Machine legions pour through. Only one force stands against them: pilots whose cores resonate and grow stronger the closer they graze danger — the Wingmates. Beneath the broken sky, they are all that remain. ■ Graze to Grow Stronger Don't just dodge the bullets — graze them! The closer you fly to danger, the harder your core resonates and the stronger your firepower becomes. Risk becomes reward. A thrill you won't find anywhere else. ■ Nineteen Wingmates That Live and Breathe No static portraits here. Seraph, Guardian of the Heavens. Nova, the Falling Star. Ragnarok, Shadow of the End. Umbra, the Veiled Prophet… Each wingmate breathes, moves, and fights at your side — with a story of their own. ■ A Journey from Earth to the Origin EARTHFALL. ASCENSION. INCURSION. DOMINION. GENESIS. From the invasion falling upon the earth to the very origin of the rift — an epic journey to reclaim the broken sky. ■ Depth That Keeps On Giving Forge upgrades, skill trees, codex evolution, ascension ranks. Excavate named relics, climb the endless floors of the Abyss, and take on weekly mutation challenges. The deeper you go, the more builds you unlock. ■ Easy to Pick Up, Hard to Put Down One-handed portrait controls — play anywhere, anytime. But don't let that fool you: the depth is anything but casual. Beyond the rift — together. ※ This game includes randomized (gacha) items. Drop rates are available in-game and on the official website.

GateFire

Dodge, blast, and upgrade your way through an endless neon gauntlet. GateFire is a fast, one-thumb arcade shooter built for quick runs — no tutorials, no waiting, just tap in and see how long you last. YOUR SHIP FIRES ITSELF. YOU JUST HAVE TO SURVIVE. Drag anywhere to move. Your ship auto-fires at everything in its path, so your only job is positioning — weave through incoming obstacles while lining up shots on the gates worth chasing. EVERY GATE IS A CHOICE Obstacles come from the right. Upgrade gates come in pairs from the left, and you only get one: a flat stat boost or a multiplier, more damage or faster fire rate. Shoot down the gate you want before it scrolls past — the one you skip is gone for good. THE SWARM NEVER LETS UP Difficulty ramps in real time. Obstacles get faster and denser at fixed milestones, and a bouncing threat keeps you honest between waves. The longer you survive, the harder GateFire pushes back. FEATURES • One-thumb drag controls — auto-fire means you never touch a button • Risk/reward upgrade gates with real stat trade-offs • Escalating difficulty that never plateaus • Multiple selectable starfighters, picked before every run • Game Center leaderboard — climb the ranks and compare your best run • Runs built for a spare minute or ten — jump in anywhere How far can you make it before the gates run out?

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GateFire at none against NEON SKY's 6. GateFire also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
