GateFire
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 road fights back. Wreckshift is a fast, one-thumb combat driving game built around short runs and meaningful garage progress. Drag to steer, weave through hostile traffic, and use mounted weapons and your armored front end to clear a path through the swarm. Every run earns salvage. Spend it on armor, weapons, magnetic recovery, and drive-core upgrades that permanently improve each vehicle. Push farther to unlock tougher cars, then customize each one with distinct finishes and build it into a specialized machine. Features: - Smooth drag-to-steer driving made for phones - Levelable weapons with expanded upgrade progression - Distinct vehicle finishes that appear in the garage and during runs - Enemies that escalate as your distance increases - Persistent garage progression and timed part installation - Optional rewarded ads that reduce installation time How far can your garage carry you?
