Keep your Research moving through cancellations, queues, and reconnects. Alliance screens stay consistent, and leaderboards show the top five plus rivals near your rank.
Sci-fi tower defense where you aim every shot, and the AI on the other side studies how you play.
Ten levels. Thousands of waves. One core to defend.
THE AI ADAPTS TO YOU
Minerva does more than gain health. Across ten levels she reads your habits and answers them. Lean on orbital platforms and she deploys platform hunters. Lean on the beam and evasion routines escalate. Every level introduces a new enemy behavior: evade, cover, jam, assault, reflect, coordinate, intrude, hack. Each one has an answer you have to find.
THEN SHE HACKS YOUR SCREEN
In the last levels the interface itself turns hostile. Health bars lie. Controls invert. Buttons drift and remap. Phantom contacts mix in with real ones. Your own platforms change sides. Sixteen interface hacks, and every one has a counter. Sweep suspicious targets with a beam-dwell scan, destroy the intrusion source, and harden your systems through the five-branch Anti-Hack research tree. You learn to fight without trusting your own readouts.
YOU AIM EVERY SHOT
Manual beam control and mid-wave upgrades, with six special weapons on real cooldowns: Antigravity Pulse, EMP, Supercharge, Firewall, Black Hole, and Nova. Push back, disable, burn through, absorb. Timing decides waves that upgrades alone will not.
BUILD FOR THE LEVEL YOU ARE ON
Earn Yellow during a run and spend it on offense, defense, utility, special weapons, 0-Day exploits, and quantum systems. Recover Blue for persistent research across 49 upgrades covering weapons, shields, economy, targeting, missiles, platforms, run speed, and anti-hacking.
GO AFK. SENTRY MODE DEFENDS.
Set how long the game waits before taking over: one, two, five, or ten minutes without input. Come back to a live readout of every wave it held.
NEVER LOSE THE SAME WAY TWICE
Every run ends with telemetry on what actually killed you and three specific fixes to try on the next one.
A CAMPAIGN THAT FIGHTS BACK
Ten levels from Cold Boot to Close the Port, each with its own enemy mechanics, bosses, formations, and ambushes. A fully voiced story and reactive combat dialogue uncover what Aerodyne buried below. Minerva gets more personal the closer the containment line comes to failing. Clear the final level and the port closes for good... or does it?
ALSO INCLUDED
- Daily and weekly Directives with fixed objectives and mutators
- Global and per-level leaderboards
- Alliance Operations: cooperative goals, rewards, and chat
- 20 Game Center achievements
- Dozens of skill-based Feats and campaign milestones
- Daily research rewards and long-term account progression
Built on a custom Metal engine. Procedural geometry, GPU particles, bloom, and scanlines fill the screen with controlled chaos, and every threat stays readable at wave 40 and beyond. Optimized for the iPhone.
An internet connection is required.
Aim the beam. Close the port.
The definition of AI slop. It looks like an actual game but you’ll get through like 10 minutes and realize it’s definitely not even made by a person. Grammar mistakes, nonsensical sentences, upgrade system is toddler level, UI is dumb, I could go on. Genuinely awful game, 0 stars.
Version 1.0.4 improves Research, Alliances, and leaderboards:
• Cancelled research can be restarted normally.
• Multi-item research queues keep counting down and advance reliably.
• Research state recovers cleanly across reconnects and overlapping refreshes.
• Active runs keep their researched bonuses when account state refreshes.
• Alliance results are submitted when returning to the main menu, and Alliance screens retain consistent typography.
• Leaderboards show the top five commanders plus nearby rivals around your position.
