A full orbit of combat
Fly left or right around a cylindrical arena and change altitude to create firing lanes, evade attacks, and keep enemies in view. Fire forward or backward to answer threats from either side.

Worlds that listen
Each world responds to the music: Gridfall's equalizer pillar, Tide's ripples, Corona's star, Babylon's city, and Vortex's storm each have their own visual response.

Weapon overcharge
Firing one weapon charges the next weapon in the arsenal. Swap to a loaded weapon to spend 18 powered shots that deal 33% more damage.
Field guides
Boost through danger
Boost is a rationed evasive tool with a brief invulnerability window. Each ship has its own recharge timing, and Anomaly mutations can change how it works.

A living field guide
Discover enemies, inspect rotating models, compare weapons and ships, and track 60 persistent awards in the in-game Gallery. Boss statistics stay veiled until their encounter is defeated.

Bring your own soundtrack
Use the Jukebox to browse the soundtrack or add your own MP3 and uncompressed WAV files on desktop. The same music analyzer drives world reactions for both.

Photo mode
Pause a solo run and move a free camera to frame screenshots of the ships, bosses, and reactive worlds.

Score chasing
