Quick steps to get started
Goal: survive each mission, beat its boss, and land to bank what you collected. Chain kills without missing to raise the multiplier — the score is what puts you on the leaderboard.
Touch: drag anywhere to fly; the plane follows your finger. Firing is automatic. Tap with a second finger to barrel roll — you are invincible for a moment and nearby bullets turn into points. Hold that second finger to slow down and tighten your shot.
Keyboard: arrows or WASD to fly, Z to fire, X to barrel roll, C for the special attack, P or Esc to pause. All keys can be remapped in Settings.
What's it all about?
STORMHAWK is a vertical arcade shooter — a shmup — built to be played with one hand. Fly 32 hand-built missions over the Pacific, dodge with a barrel roll, and chain kills to multiply your score. What makes it different from other plane shooters: everything you earn goes somewhere. Land after a mission and spend it in the hangar, unlock twelve planes that each fly differently, and pick roguelite cards mid-run so no two campaigns stack the same way. Six modes, including a Daily mission everyone plays identically and a Boss Rush against all 32 bosses back to back.
