Fly together. Strike as one.A couch co-op arcade game for 1 to 4 players. Your body is the blade: dash through the storm, catch elemental charges, and fuse them with your friends into 29 named Synergy Strikes before the Sovereign arrives.
The story
“Between realities, a battle blazes. Brilliant, trippy triangles pulse with powerful synergy. A cosmic force connecting all things. But the sharp, sinister shapes of the Matrix march endlessly, harvesting that synergy for their barren bosses.”
Hold your ground. Charge your strikes. Ten minutes of rising storm stand between you and the Sovereign, the last and greatest shape.
How it plays
There is no fire button. You dash through enemies to strike them, and the elements you catch do the rest.
01
One button. Fly with the stick, dash through the Matrix to cut it down, and keep your streak alive for up to twenty times the score.
02
Charges drop while you fight. A charge's colour picks the element: fire, ice, shock, light, shadow and eight more.
03
Two live elements combine into a Synergy Strike, yours or a friend's. Strike beside a teammate and your powers fuse across the sky.
The hook
Thirteen elements. Every pair that fuses has its own name, its own look and its own way of clearing the sky. The game stamps the name on screen the moment you land one.
Couch co-op
Up to four players share one screen and one team score. Each player presses a button on their own controller to take a seat, and a friend can join mid-run when the Oracle visits.
Every seat has its own colour, trail and score. Colour-blind-safe team schemes and sixteen player colours are in Options.
Between the acts
Twice a run the storm holds its breath and the Oracle offers three reels. Stop each one with your own press: timing, not chance.
Two alike switch an element on. Three alike add its synergy partner. Three Renewals heal you fully. Nothing is ever taken.
The finale
At ten minutes the sky tears and the last and greatest shape arrives. It sets trials. Answer each with the right element to break a seal, then break it for good with any synergy, on the beat.
Shield, Burst and Sustained. One hit of the element it asks for clears the trial for the whole team and brings fallen players back.
Fill its bar through the Mirror, the Unravel and the Last Court, then everyone strikes the core together.
New Game+ adds trials and speed. Mastery asks for every element. Challenge asks for all 29 synergies.
Playing alone
Meet Echo: a reflection of your light. On a one-person run Echo takes the second seat, fuses synergies with you, and gives you a share of everything it picks up.
Spend banked score on Echo's Tree: 24 spheres across Strength, Smarts, Hardiness and Fair Share. Once a run, if Echo is the last one standing and falls, Echo's Stand brings you back in.
Synergy Rewards

Play it your way
Multi-monitor. Spread the game across two or three displays: the arena in the middle, your HUD and the run's progress on the sides, and the music's cymatic sand across all of them. Bring it to your venue
Portrait. Turn the display on its side and the game redraws itself tall. It is a real layout, not a crop.
Every track you own becomes a field of cymatic sand that twinkles in the music's waves. Open it from the Music Bank and let it run.
Sliders for full-screen flashes and screen shake, reduced motion, calmer trails and grains, colour-blind-safe team colours and a Sovereign Assist. Health & comfort
