Arrow Keys Only

Coming Soon  ·  $4.99

One hand. Five pilots. Forty skins. Zero asset files.
Every pixel drawn at runtime.

Pick Your Hunt

Each route locks into its own themed dungeon for the whole run. Backgrounds, enemies, platforms, atmosphere — all shift to tell you exactly where you are.

▲ Up
FROZEN CORE
Rival · Herald

Aurora curtains, drifting ice peaks, hanging icicles on every wall. Slowest but heaviest shots.

▶ Right
CINDER FORGE
Rival · Dako

Factory skyline, smokestacks, a molten seam in every wall. Heavy pressure, burning crumbleways.

▼ Down
TOXIN GARDEN
Rival · Mark

Mushroom forest, hanging vines, pulsing bioluminescent flowers. Overgrown platforms that cling back.

◀ Left
VOID RAIL
Rival · Kozo

Nebula clouds, circuit grid, holographic cubes drifting. Fast vectors, shorter gaps, tighter lines.

Read the Enemy. Match the Element.

Weak-matched hits deal 1.75×. Resisted hits deal 0.45×. Every enemy has its own weak and resist — switching correctly is the game.

Neutral
Mark / Setup

Low damage. Marks the target for +25% amp. Swap to fire/ice/poison for the finish.

Fire
Burst / DoT

Highest sustained DPS. Burn ticks after the hit. Short spread, fast cadence.

Ice
Control

Heaviest per-shot. 55% slow + real knockback. Brittle combo for crushing burst.

Poison
Area Denial

Lingering DoT + impact clouds. Spread via Contagion, linger via Miasma.

Unlock. Dress Up. Switch.

Each pilot starts with a signature move. Every run with them unlocks new skins — signature accessories, cute faces, road signs, dark demon forms.

Pilot Rank

PILOT RANK 8

A universal meta XP track. Every run ticks it — death or victory, first wave or final boss. 50 ranks to chase, visible everywhere, never lets a run feel wasted.

Trials & Sigils

Stack rule mods on any run. Volatile makes enemies explode. Fragile halves your HP. Reaper spawns a dark echo. Clear runs with them active to earn sigils.
