Ember Wing

The world went grey. You didn't.

Ember Wing is a vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up drawn in moody pixel art. You fly the last warm-colored plane through a world drowned in fog and rain. Your guns fire on their own, so your attention goes to moving: weaving through bullet patterns, lining up shots and grabbing power before it fades.

Four worlds, one long night

• Grey Harbor: rain hammers the sea, oil platforms flicker, and lighthouse beams sweep the fog.
• Dust Road: a pale road winds past telephone poles and a gas station that closed years ago.
• Red Woods: bare trees in red fog, and a railway crossing that never stops blinking.
• Last Lights: a sleeping town in the drizzle, lit only by street lamps and traffic lights.

Each world ends with the Sky Fortress, a flying battleship with five bullet patterns that gets angrier as it burns. Survive all four worlds and they loop, faster and meaner.

Power is borrowed, not kept

Power-ups are rare and they wear off. Each weapon level lasts only a few seconds, shields hold for one hit, and taking damage knocks your guns down a level. You have to keep earning your firepower.
