Void Horizon

Enemies pour in from every edge of the screen. Steer with one stick, aim with the other, and thread the gaps in their bullet patterns. Void Horizon is a fast arena shooter where every run builds a different ship.

Four ways to fly

• Campaign: twelve stages and eight named bosses, from TETRA to the VOID MOTHER, a mothership that keeps coming back to finish what she started. Between the bosses fly three old-school vertical-scrolling sorties and a Galaga-style challenge stage.

• Endless: sector after sector, each one hotter than the last and each ending in a boss fight and a warp to a new sky.

• Arcade: survive 20 minutes against the horde. Run up to six of eleven weapons at once, evolve them, and face four elites, each a different fight.

• Boss Rush: clear the campaign, then fight all eight bosses back to back.

Build your run

• Each boss you beat brings an upgrade board: raise FIREPOWER, ENGINES or BARRIER, or bolt on one of twelve passive systems.

• Strike a Black Market deal: take a curse for a big payout.

• Graze bullets and chain kills to charge Overclock, then turn the enemy fire around you into gold.

Fourteen ships

• Every hull flies its own signature weapon, from the Vulcan to beams, drones, flames and lightning.

• Spend salvage from your runs to unlock new ships and colour schemes.

• Buy permanent upgrades in the Workshop.

• Clear the campaign to unlock the VETERAN and VOID difficulties.

Local co-op
