About This Game

CLASSIC SHMUP ACTION WITH A BULLET-BENDING TWIST

SynthEscape is a horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up built around a risk/reward graze mechanic. Fly dangerously close to enemy bullets to charge your ship. Each graze expands your time-manipulating, bullet-slowing field and pushes your combo higher. Chain grazes together, grow your energy field, and turn bullet hell into controlled chaos.

BREAK THE FUTURE

Humanity has been subjugated and imprisoned under a ruthless AI and its endless machine army. But one teenager refuses to bow. They steal the forbidden DLRN-88, a prototype reality-bending weapon developed by the machines themselves. Attaching it to their own scrapped-together starship, they launch a desperate mission to escape their dystopian city and destroy the central AI core in orbit.

FEATURES

  • 5 Levels of Neon-Soaked Rebellion: Battle through the dystopian city, race across ocean highways at sunset, infiltrate a forgotten factory beneath the mountains, ascend the space elevator, and destroy the core in orbit. Each level brings unique enemies and devastating bosses.

  • Two Player Co-op: Bring a friend into the chaos. Double the firepower, double the grazing mayhem.

  • Vibe Mode: Just want to experience the synthwave aesthetic? Play without death. Scoring still matters, but the pressure's off.

  • Fully Customizable Controls: Remap every input to match your play style, whether keyboard, controller, or arcade stick.

  • Online Leaderboard Support: Perfect your runs, maximize your score, and compete with players worldwide.

  • Boss Gauntlet: Face off against mechanical nightmares with crushing attack patterns.

SYNTHWAVE REBELLION

SynthEscape is built on classic shoot 'em up foundations - inspired by arcade legends like Gradius and Darius, and modern takes like ZeroRanger and Devil Blade Reboot. Five handcrafted levels with fixed enemy patterns and multi-segment bosses. No randomization, no roguelike elements. Just pure pattern mastery and score optimization.

One teenager. One stolen prototype weapon. One desperate mission to destroy the AI overlords. Everyone can finish the rebellion. Vibe Mode removes death penalties while keeping scoring intact. Learn the stages at your own pace, refine your routes, chase the perfect run.

GRAZE BULLETS. BEND TIME. BREAK THE FUTURE.
