Wirehawk

From the Devs

Wirehawk combines the aesthetics of classic vector games with a choice of two control modes, each tuned for its device. Mouse mode delivers modern, precise control - your ship goes exactly where your hand goes, with a level of speed and precision a gamepad simply can't match. Controller mode is built for the stick: enemy fire, contact speeds and warnings are tuned so a gamepad plays fair, with its own progress and its own leaderboards. It brings back the arcade shmup of the golden age, redrawn in glowing vector lines on pure black. You just fly; your laser never stops firing. Fight your way up through the stages of distinct neon worlds, face a boss every tenth stage, and push your laser from a single beam to a screen-filling fan of twenty.

• Pure neon vector look - every line drawn, no sprites

• Asteroid runs, alien arenas, boss fights

• Reaction over memorization - no scripted waves, each enemy hunts you with its own behavior

• Power-ups, helper drones, homing missiles and time-slowing stasis

• Two control modes - razor-sharp mouse or a controller mode tuned for the stick; autofire always on

• Short runs, instant restarts, old-school "one more go" scoring

• Global Steam leaderboards - separate boards for mouse and controller, every run counts
