Driftwake

You answered a distress call. Now you need a way out. Captain Iona and her battered ship, the Wren, are trapped inside a pocket universe with a stranded convoy and a graveyard of ancient vessels. An immense machine known as the Gatekeeper controls the passages ahead. It understands your request to leave. It refuses. Driftwake is a single-player sci-fi arcade game where mass and momentum are your weapons. Ram enemy ships into the deadly rim, dodge charging interceptors, and turn drifting asteroids into hazards for anyone chasing you. Keep your own hull clear of the edge—or use an emergency warp reserve to survive another round. BUILD YOUR STRENGTH Recover stellar iron, engine cores, shields and ability charges from defeated enemies. Grow heavier, hit harder, and crack open drifting supply caches for extra cargo. MASTER FOUR ABILITIES Push attackers away with Pulse. Strike and return with Kinetic Slam. Drop a Singularity to draw enemies into its core. Stop time with Chrono and make your next move count. FIND A PATH THROUGH THE POCKET Fight through 48 passages across 12 sectors, from quiet starfields and asteroid shoals to crimson plasma and vast ancient machinery. Face ships with distinct abilities, unstable vortices, contact mines and breaches spilling matter into the pocket. BRING THE CONVOY HOME Follow Iona, engineer Vex and radio operator Pip as they search for an escape. Encrypted messages offer unexpected help, but the Gatekeeper will defend the exit. FLY YOUR WAY Learn the controls in optional flight school, choose from four difficulties, and customize your joystick position, fixed or floating controls, steering assistance and vibration. Discover enemy ships, cargo and phenomena in the Compendium, then return to improve your scores. Play offline. No ads, accounts or in-app purchases. Made by Gnomish.
