Skybreak

About this game

Skybreak is a vertical arcade flight shooter. Cross the coastal frontier, storm clouds, industrial defenses and orbital fleet through 12 handcrafted missions. Each ends with a boss; missions 3, 6, 9 and 12 conclude their chapters with multi-phase encounters. Your cannon fires automatically. Focus on movement, dodge hostile fire and collect firepower, shields, repairs, support drones and screen-clearing bombs. Bank parts on mission completion to improve your hull, cannon and shield, and unlock spread and laser weapons. Progress stays in this browser, with wave checkpoints and save-file import and export. Assist mode offers slower enemy bullets and hull recovery between waves; Standard mode puts more emphasis on positioning.

How to play

Get to know the controls, then take things at your own pace.

1. Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Hold Shift for precision. You can also drag inside the battlefield with a mouse.
2. On phones and tablets, drag inside the battlefield. Keep a finger below the aircraft and use your other hand for the bomb button.
3. Your cannon fires automatically. Press Space or the bomb button to clear hostile bullets, damage enemies and gain brief protection. Escape pauses.
4. Collect supplies and avoid orange bullets and marked hazard zones. Destroy shield generators before attacking a protected boss core.
5. Checkpoints save automatically between waves. Pause to save and exit; continuing restarts the current wave or boss from its checkpoint.
6. Export a save in Flight Archive to back it up or move to another device. Export before changing browsers or clearing browser data.
