VECTORSTORM VectorStorm is a pure neon arcade shooter built for the phone in your hands. Left thumb flies, right thumb aims, your ship never stops firing. Survive escalating waves of grunts, weavers, hunters, orbiters, swarmer packs, splitting asteroids, and blackholes that devour the grid itself. CHASE THE MULTIPLIER Destroyed vectors drop geoms. Geoms feed your score multiplier, charge your PULSE shockwave, bank NUKEs, and earn extra and unlock REWARDS! Risk a dash through the debris or play it safe. BUILT FOR TOUCH No virtual buttons cluttering the screen. Twin-stick touch controls with full gamepad support. A self-playing tutorial shows you everything in 30 seconds. FAMILY HIGH SCORE TABLE Named local high scores, arcade style. Pass the phone, claim the top spot at dinner, defend it forever. EARN YOUR ARSENAL Every geom you ever collect counts toward the reward track: new ships, exhaust trails, laser styles, and ship colors — earned by playing. The optional Challenge Pack ($4.99, one-time) opens the full track of rewards to earn. All gameplay is free, forever: every enemy, every wave, every mode. No ads. No energy timers. No subscriptions. SOUNDS OF THE VECTORSTORM An original synth soundtrack that shifts with the game — six battle tracks, plus every explosion tuned to hit like it looks. Fully playable offline. Nothing to sign up for. Just you and the Vectorstorm!
