Hard. Retro. ...and SUPER HARD! Can you last 10 seconds? Are your thumbs blessed with the the nimbleness of an elf rogue drinking their third pot of coffee? Tell you what. Get over 1,000 points and the entire internet will bow down before you claiming you are the ultimate gaming god of the universe. GAMEPLAY Hurl down a wormhole in an 8-bit spaceship… that has a proven track record of exploding… in this retro arcade runner (technically speaking, a space-time continuum flyer). Your only goal is to survive as long as possible. The longer you last, the faster you go, and the higher your score climbs. Simple, right? HA! Your dark-matter dash through the prismatic geometry wormhole is comprised of breakneck turns that will shatter your spaceship—and hopes of a high score—when crashed into. Luckily for you, you have infinite lives (and, apparently, an amazing mechanic), so you can replay the game without hesitation or remorse for the rocket you just destroyed seven seconds earlier. "Step aside, Flappy Bird clones; there’s a new highly addictive game on app store shelves." - Rolith's Mom FEATURES Amazing 8-bit graphics Classic arcade soundtrack Simple yet skillful tap button controls Original gold coin collecting system (no one’s ever done that before, right?) Colorful and vivid 3D geometry cubes that change color like WOAH Infinite lives! You don’t even need to be a cat (wait, what?) Unlock new rockets and spaceships featuring state of the art pixel art Totally free! But we make you watch an ad every once in awhile, ‘cuz, you know, someone has to pay your spaceship mechanic bill… This ridiculously hard twitch game was created as an overnight project by Rolith and the CRIT Team at Artix Entertainment. May you enjoy countless hours of frustrating potty toilet gaming time with VelocityAE! "No, no... this is great! At least Rolith did not use his spare time to making another game about Ponies." - Artix, Founder/CEO.
