The Mission
The Starforge is still building. Its corridors shift. Its weapons wake.
Pilot your craft through industrial sectors packed with machinery, plasma vents, gun turrets and enemy formations. Destroy the attacking ships, collect the weapon and shield shards they leave behind, and unleash your secondary weapon when the moment is right. Somewhere ahead, the Forge Warden is waiting.
A destroyed craft does not have to mean a wasted flight. Bring forge material home and spend it on lasting improvements. Strengthen your craft, choose a secondary weapon and launch again. The machine improves. The flying does not.

A new forge every flight
The Starforge rearranges its corridors, hazards and machinery from one flight to the next. Learn the machine, but do not trust it.
Build a stronger craft
Recover forge material, improve your craft and choose a secondary weapon before launching again.
Weapon heat
The pulse cannon builds heat as it fires. Push it hard, but watch the gauge. An overheated cannon is no use when the next formation arrives.
Arcade graphics
Detailed craft, layered starfields and shifting industrial scenery.
Electronic sound
Laser fire, warning signals and an electronic score created for arcade action.
Tune the picture
Adjust screen flash, shake, glow, projectile contrast, control size and display scale.
Four Apple machines
Built for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac, with controls suited to each machine.
Sector boss
The Forge Warden
Every sector has its keeper. The Forge Warden attacks in phases, signals its strikes and exposes its weak points for only moments at a time. Learn the pattern. Find the opening. Break the machine. Then take its salvage and fly on.
