ABOUT

Cloudstrike is a compact retro-inspired arcade shooter designed specifically for short and intense mobile sessions. Every run lasts no longer than five minutes, building from fast fighter encounters to a multi-phase final boss battle.

Fly a procedurally varied aircraft using responsive landscape touch controls, destroy increasingly dangerous enemy formations and earn score-based power-ups. Temporary upgrades include piercing spread fire, an energy shield, repair kits and homing missiles. Enemies, aircraft designs, terrain regions and visual details change between runs, while an adaptive drum-and-bass soundtrack adds and removes musical layers according to the enemies and power-ups currently in play.

Cloudstrike combines the immediacy of classic arcade shooters with mobile-friendly controls and fair modern design. It contains no advertisements, microtransactions, accounts or energy systems. The game works completely offline, collects no personal data and keeps its five-entry high-score table locally on the device.

It is a one-time purchase with a download size of roughly 3 MB, built for quick arcade runs without unnecessary distractions.
