Endless Skies

Endless Skies is a top-down jet shooter with no finish line. Take off, survive wave after wave, and turn the coins and power gems you collect into a build that can handle what comes next.

How a run works

• Fight the wave. Enemies close in from every side of an endless sky. Shoot them down and their coins, power gems and repair kits fly to you.
• Level up. Power gems fill your level bar. After each wave, pick one of three upgrade cards per level gained.
• Visit the shop. Spend your coins on items, new weapons and missile types. Lock the offers you like, or reroll for new ones.
• Face the boss. Every fifth wave a boss arrives, and the sky changes after each one you defeat: Day, Sunset, Night, Storm.

What's in the hangar

• 4 weapons: Cannon, Drone wingmen, Laser and Spread Gun. Buy one you already own to merge it, up to tier 4.
• 5 missile types: Homing, Cluster, Torpedo, Swarm Rockets and EMP. Switch between them in flight; each reloads on its own.
• 20 upgrade cards and 23 shop items. Three of a kind complete a set bonus: Arsenal, Bulwark or Fortune.

Who you're up against

• Six enemy types: Fighters, Kamikazes, Swarms, Snipers with homing missiles, Heavies, and Stealth Fighters that hide from your radar. Golden elites start showing up from wave 3.
• 7 bosses, each with its own attack patterns and music: Thanatos, Crimson Fang, Storm Carrier, Void Swarmer, The Bastion, Celestial Arbiter and Inferno Leviathan.
