Description
Releasing Feb.16 2025
Mayday 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
Fight through waves of enemies with escalating bullet patterns and retaliation attacks.
Clear a set number of enemies to progress through each area.
After a wave, pick a stat specialization with a downside:
Learn enemy behaviour, build the right stat path, and survive long enough to reach each boss.
Story Mode
In a future where peace is protected from the shadows by the Agent Society, a rogue group, the Fallen Star Organization , is hunting a myth and trying to awaken a superweapon.
You’re deployed as Agent Mayday , linked with the Skylon’s operating system, Elizabeth , and sent into the Alyphs Quadrant to shut down the enemy bases before Nova changes everything.
Arcade Mode
Arcade Mode is pure action: no cutscenes, just continuous progression through stages of enemy waves leading to bosses. If you’re here for the gameplay grind, the dodging, and the build decisions.
Wave-based shoot ’em up combat focused on dodging projectile patterns and fast clears.
A triangle stat-tradeoff upgrade system that forces real build decisions every run.
Boss fights and escalating enemy pressure as you push toward the finale.
Story Mode with cutscenes + Arcade Mode for replayable runs.
