About the game

BAArrage is a one-thumb vertical shoot 'em up for phones. You fly a mech sheep: drag anywhere and it follows. Only the white core in its middle can be hit, while its wool just grazes, so the dodging is about threading close through every pattern.

Every climb starts with a Weapon Core and grows from there: 113 cards that stack however you like, shots that ricochet and pierce, beams that fork, drones, mines, statuses that burn, chill and mark, and Cursed cards that double their upside for a price. Fifteen waves and three bosses take you from the fields to the stars, then endless goes on as long as your hull holds.
