Break fighter formations in a VR space shooter

Inspired by 1990s arcade shooters, Ironwing Armada sends looping squadrons and advancing rows toward your platform. The advancing rows speed up as you thin their ranks, changing the rhythm of each encounter.

  • Kestrels fill the attacking squadrons.
  • Shielded Mantas add protected targets to the formation.
  • Charging Shrikes pressure your position.

Automatic fire and a shield: choose your openings

Hold the trigger for automatic fire from the beginning of the run. Raise your shield when incoming shots close in. Shooting stops while shielding, so surviving a barrage means choosing when to defend and when to return to firing.

Health pickups, firing-rate boosts and gold fly toward you automatically. You can concentrate on the incoming formations while collecting the resources that keep your run going.

Face the Ironwing Citadel carrier boss

Survive all three stages to reach the Ironwing Citadel. This massive carrier launches fighter attacks and charges its cannons for a sustained barrage. Track the threats in front of you and use the shield when the carrier opens fire.

Replay for a higher score

Sharpen your aim, collect gold and push for a personal best and an A+ grade. After defeat, continue to keep fighting or start a fresh run for a new score attempt.

Ironwing Armada is a standalone episode built around focused arcade combat: three stages of fighter attacks followed by a carrier boss.
