Dive into the chaos of the cosmos with Aerial Raider, a thrilling space shooter inspired by classic arcade games and powered by modern gameplay. Take flight in your powerful spaceship, maneuver through asteroid fields, battle alien ships, and survive deep in outer space as you chase the ultimate high score. With its vertical-scrolling action and tilt-based controls, Aerial Raider brings the pulse-pounding thrill of top-down shooters right to your fingertips.
Tilt, Tap, and Blast
Aerial Raider defaults to tilt controls, making full use of your device’s motion sensors for immersive gameplay. Glide through meteor storms and enemy waves just by moving your phone. Do you prefer something more traditional? Switch to the digital joystick and enjoy a tactical shooter experience with arcade precision. It’s fast, intuitive, and deeply satisfying.

As you progress through this space survival challenge, you'll encounter monster galaxy bosses, asteroid belts, and swarms of drones.
