Skywake
Fly a dragon across coastal reefs, canyon ambushes and a floating citadel. Charge eight homing locks and battle three distinct mechanical guardians.
How to play
Hold and sweep across enemies to queue up to eight locks. Hold each target for 0.85s (Focused) or 1.75s (Overdrive), then release. Queued locks survive a lost target; missiles retarget or fly forward. Tap for a quick shot. Aim steers the dragon; WASD/arrows also move. Space/EVADE rolls (3.4s cooldown). Follow FRONT/PORT/STARBOARD; aim stays screen-relative. Break both guardian engines, then the exposed core; the final right engine is reinforced. Watch the defeated hull fall before the result. Each clear restores two integrity. Defeat retries the chapter with full integrity and zero score.
Controls
- Mouse or touch: hold and sweep to lock, keep holding to charge, release to launch
- Tap an enemy: quick shot; aim position also steers the dragon
- WASD or arrow keys: fly; J: hold to lock and release to fire with keyboard targeting
- Space or EVADE: barrel roll, 3.4-second cooldown
- P, Escape or pause button: pause; music note button: toggle sound
Tips
- Charge starts after acquiring a target. Cyan is normal, gold is Focused, violet is maximum Overdrive.
- Orange rings mean a shot is charging. Keep moving and roll when projectiles approach.
- Break both engines to expose each core. The final guardian has a reinforced engine and changes direction.
- You recover two integrity points between chapters. Later journeys become stronger.
About Skywake
An original 3D dragon rail shooter with three distinct skies: the open reefs of Tidebreak Coast, the layered walls of the Riven Canyon and the floating towers of the Storm Citadel. The camera smoothly turns to meet port and starboard attacks as later chapters combine frontal and side engagements. Sweep across enemies to acquire up to eight homing locks, keep each lock for Focused or Overdrive power, then release a luminous salvo. Fight the winged Sunspine Leviathan, the six-legged Iron Scarab and the crowned dreadnought at the storm throne. Break both engines before attacking each shielded core. Recover two integrity points between chapters and carry your score into harder journeys. Guardians carry heavy armor. Watch each defeated hull spiral down in smoke and chained explosions before the chapter result.
