Rules of the run

01

Move

Use arrow keys, A/D, Q/E, or tap left/right to move between lanes or ring slots.

02

Survive

Avoid blocks and asteroids. One clean hit ends the run unless a shield charge is ready.

03

Energy

Plasma orbs add +100 score and +0.5 speed. Speed keeps climbing through the run.

04

Lasers

You start with 5 shots. Fire with Space, F, Ctrl, gamepad, or the fire button; gain +1 ammo every 50 moves.

05

Shield

Every 100 moves gives +1 shield charge. A shield absorbs one clean impact.

06

Level 2

The ring has 10 slots. Follow the open path as each gate tightens with speed.

07

Alien Mode

Unlocked by You Are An Alien. Stay centered and rotate the rings to build the path.

Cockpit

HUD and controls

Reading the HUD
  • Score / distance — the run counter climbs with the distance you fly. Plasma orbs add +100 on top, so the final number is distance plus bonuses.
  • FIRE buttons (Android) — the two corner buttons print the word FIRE with the ammo you have left underneath. They dim when you are out of shots and light back up when ammo returns.
  • Shield — the aura around your ship means a charge is loaded. It absorbs one clean impact and then disappears until the next charge.
  • MISSIONS tab — top of the screen, shows daily objectives and the skin drop timer. Tap it to open, tap the X to close it.
  • Gear button — opens Pause and Settings mid-run. On PC you can also press Esc.
Same HUD on every level
Controls by platform
  • Keyboard — arrow keys, A/D or Q/E to move; Space, F or Ctrl to fire; Esc to pause.
  • Gamepad — Xbox controllers are supported on the Steam build: stick or D-pad to move, face button to fire.
  • Touch (Android) — tap or hold the left and right halves of the screen to move between lanes or ring slots; tap a FIRE button to shoot.
Steam and Google Play builds share the same rules
Move the fire button (HUD LAYOUT)

If the FIRE buttons do not sit where your thumbs are, you can move them. Open Settings — from the main menu or from Pause during Level 1, Level 2 or Alien Mode — and choose HUD LAYOUT.

  • Drag each FIRE button anywhere inside the safe area of the screen.
  • Use the slider to scale the buttons between 0.7x and 1.7x.
  • DONE saves, RESET returns to the default corners.

The layout is saved on the device and applies to every level and every future session. Editing is disabled during online squad runs, where the match cannot be paused.

Android only
Settings and accessibility
  • Sound and music — toggled independently from the pause menu.
  • Vibration — haptic feedback on Android can be turned off if you prefer a silent run.
  • Emission / glow — lowers the neon bloom for weaker devices or for comfort. See the health notice if flashing effects bother you.
  • Fullscreen — available on the Windows build from the pause menu.
Saved per device
Account, progress and cross-platform
  • Scores, achievements, unlocked levels and skins live in your online pilot account, not on the device. Sign in with the same account on PC and phone and everything follows you.
  • On Android you can sign in with Google Play Games, or with an email and password like on PC.
  • Leaderboards are per level and per mode, and squad runs have their own tables for personal score and squad MVP.
  • Purchases are tied to the store you bought them on: Google Play purchases restore with the same Google account, Steam DLC unlocks through Steam.
One pilot, both platforms
Online squads
  • Create a room and invite a friend, join with a room code, or use quick join to be matched with pilots on the same level.
  • Everyone in a room flies the same generated map, so the run is a fair race.
  • When you crash you keep watching the room as a spectator until the round ends, then the lobby offers a replay.
  • Squad runs need a live connection. On a weak network the match may drop you back to the lobby.
