Mayday

Releasing Feb.16 2025Mayday is a wave-based sci-fi shoot 'em up where every clear makes you stronger… and weaker.Pilot the Skylon, a prototype combat craft built to adapt on the fly. Survive enemy swarms, dodge dense projectile patterns, and wipe out targets fast—then after each wave, choose a tradeoff upgrade in a brutal triangle system: Attack lowers Defence, Defence lowers Speed, and Speed lowers Attack.

Core Gameplay Loop

• Clear a set number of enemies to progress through each area.
