Space Swoosh
about the game
Space Swoosh puts you in a tiny spaceship that never stops moving. One tap changes which way you lean. Thread asteroid fields, swing wide of black holes, fall through portals, and keep the fire burning for as long as the dark allows. It is free on iPhone and Android, and it plays right here in your browser.
There is no throttle and no brake. You are always moving, and the only choice you get is which way to lean. Tap and the ship flips its angle. Tap again and it flips back. That is the whole control scheme, and it is enough to keep you busy for a very long time.
Chase the blue, because it is your fuel. Slip through gaps barely wider than your hull. Kiss a side wall, bounce, and keep going. Nothing on screen is there for decoration. No clutter, no homework. Just you, the drift, and the next gap.
Forty-two days, and a story that reaches you the way late-night radio does: one line at a time. The voice belongs to NAV. She guides your small ship across an enormous silence, toward the source of a broken signal.
Someone, somewhere, once tried very hard to be heard. You are the one who finally went looking. Each day is a short flight with a distance to reach and up to three stars to earn. Where it ends is yours to discover, and yours to answer.
No story. No mercy. No finish line. Just how far the dark will let you go. The sky fills up the farther you fly, and no two runs are the same.
Make the top 100 and your call sign goes on the Space Board for everyone to chase. This is the mode you come back to when you just want to fly.
Every ship flies the same. Same speed, same turns. A ship changes how you look and the wake you leave behind, nothing else. Five ships are free forever, and the rest are optional unlocks that help keep the game going. Nothing you can buy moves you up the Space Board.
