Take control of an advanced orbital defence system (V-ORBIT) locked in a high-speed orbit around the planet. Rotate, aim and unleash powerful lasers as waves of asteroids and explosives streak toward Earth. Survive as long as you can and push your high score higher with every run. Key Features: 1. Smooth orbital movement - rotate around Earth and intercept threats from every angle. 2. Escalating difficulty - the game gets harder as your score increases. 3. Beautiful visuals - the game uses post-processing to add more flare to the visuals. 4. Easy, straight-forward controls for both, touchscreen and controller setups. 5. Game UI adjusts based on whether you have a controller connected or not. 6. The game will receive updates which will add new features and improve the overall experience.

About

STORMHAWK

Features
Read 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.
