Updraft!

UPDRAFT! — Escape from Planet X

Planet X is coming apart. Your only way out is up.

Your extraction mission has failed. Deep beneath the planet’s surface, you pilot a small helicopter through collapsing caverns, hostile forests and the skies beyond. Somewhere above, the mothership is waiting.

Hold the throttle to climb. Release it to fall. Thread narrow passages, dodge incoming fire and land on ledges to conserve fuel. Every green barrel could keep your escape alive—and every tempting coin could lead you into trouble.

You have a one-hit shield and a single-use bomb. Use them wisely.

At the end of each world, a relentless hunter blocks your path. Turn its pursuit against it: lure the boss into floating spike mines while avoiding its attacks and the droids patrolling the arena.

• Six distinct worlds: The Core, The Abyss, The Woods, The Cliffs, The Sky and The Void.
• Twelve procedurally generated stages, with fresh layouts on every attempt—even when you continue.
• Six pursuing bosses fought across sprawling arenas with cover, fuel and explosive traps.
• Three stars to chase: finish with your shield intact, collect all five coins and keep your bomb unspent.
• Five modes: Adventure, Hardcore, Endless, Levels and Bosses.
• Original pixel art and chiptune music, built for real Game Boy Color hardware.
