Stormbreak Squadron

About

Fly into pixel-art air combat. Stormbreak Squadron is a free vertical arcade shooter built around precise dodging, automatic fire, a well-timed Pulse, and the weapons your enemies leave behind. TEN OPERATIONS Fight from Breakwater on the coast to the Stormbreak Citadel in one campaign. Clear an operation and fly into the next with the lives, score, weapons and armor you finished with. In each operation you face tougher enemies, faster bullets, quicker fire and more frequent waves, and from Operation 04 on, enemies sweep in from the sides and climb from below right from the first waves. Lose your last life and the run is over. Clear Operation 10 to win the campaign. TEN BOSSES Every operation ends with its own boss: the Siege Carrier, Dune Lancer, Leviathan, Magma Fortress, Phantom Carrier, Tempest Ace, Atlas Dreadnought, Hive Cruiser, Crimson Wing and the Storm Core. Each one has its own hull, movement and attack patterns. Destroy its wing guns to expose the core, then finish it while the core pushes forward and fills the sky with bullets. KEEP MOVING Drag anywhere on the battlefield to steer while your cannons fire on their own. Enemies open fire as they arrive. Aimed shots fly fast and spreads drift slow, so read the fire and find the gap. Ground turrets stay on the ground, so you can fly over them. Unleash Pulse to clear nearby enemy bullets, damage enemies and shield your aircraft for a moment. POWER UP Enemies drop what they carry. Grab V crates to widen your vulcan into an eight-way spread, or L crates for a piercing laser that cuts through every enemy in line. The crate flips between the two as it falls, so the choice is yours. Add homing missiles or rockets as a second launcher, and stack repair kits into armor that absorbs hits before you lose a life. Enemies toughen up as your weapons level up, so the fight keeps its edge. CHASE THE HIGH SCORE Every hit and every bonus box adds to your score, and your score carries through the whole campaign. Kill an enemy the moment it arrives and its kill bonus pays up to five times, fading to its base value over three seconds. Ground turrets leave gold medals worth 200 points. Clear an operation and the stage bonus pays 1,000 per medal, tripled if you never used Pulse and doubled after one, plus 500 for every life left. LEARN THE PATTERNS Choose Rookie, Normal or Expert for the whole campaign and chase a separate personal best on each. Rookie starts you with five lives, Normal and Expert with three. Training Flight replays Breakwater with unlimited lives and leaves your records alone. Boss Practice takes you straight to the Siege Carrier so you can learn how a boss fight works. TURN IT UP An original chiptune soundtrack with the energy of an anime opening: eleven tracks that get faster and heavier as each boss arrives and you expose its core. Cannon, laser, missile and explosion sounds to match. MAKE IT FEEL RIGHT Adjust movement sensitivity, choose left- or right-side Pulse placement, and enable higher-contrast enemy fire. Set music, sound effects, haptics and reduced effects to suit your play. Pause and return to the action with a resume countdown. PLAY ON YOUR TERMS All gameplay is available without a purchase.
