Dodge, blast, and upgrade your way through an endless neon gauntlet. GateFire is a fast, one-thumb arcade shooter built for quick runs โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โข One-thumb drag controls โ auto-fire means you never touch a button โข Risk/reward upgrade gates with real stat trade-offs โข Escalating difficulty that never plateaus โข Multiple selectable starfighters, picked before every run โข Game Center leaderboard โ climb the ranks and compare your best run โข Runs built for a spare minute or ten โ jump in anywhere How far can you make it before the gates run out?
STORMHAWK
Read full descriptionHide full description
STORMHAWK is a vertical arcade shooter built the old way: every one of its 32 missions is hand-designed, with its own theatre of war, its own fleet and its own boss, from a red interceptor to an armed zeppelin. You start with one plane and a straight gun. Ten minutes later you are rolling through flak with a magnetic graze meter, a wingman squadron and a deck of roguelite cards you picked yourself. Between missions you spend your loot in the hangar, unlock more fighters, and chase 96 medals. WHAT IS IN IT - 32 missions across 8 theatres, 16 bosses and a mid-mission heavy escort - 12 fighters with genuinely different weapons, unlocked with medals - 12 roguelite cards with synergies, drawn from a capsule you shoot to cycle - Hangar upgrades, coins, ranks and 96 medals to collect - Daily mission with a rotating mutator, and a weekly challenge - Endless and Boss Rush for short sessions - Ace mode (New Game+): the whole campaign again, harder, double score - 3 save slots with autosave per mission - Plays in 7 languages: English, Espanol, Portugues, Francais, Deutsch, Russian, Turkce HOW IT PLAYS One finger. Drag anywhere and the plane follows; it fires on its own. Second finger: hold for focus, tap for a barrel roll. No tutorial screens: the first five seconds are a ceasefire and the game shows you the gesture, then gets out of the way. Works offline.
