Break stuff, collect COINs, upgrade your ARC, score points, and chase high scores through precision and maintaining your multipliers.

You play as Ayla, a rookie pilot and her mentor Ferris, as they pilot their ARC (Artifact Recovery and Containment vessel) through a routine mission on the planet Exos. Their job is to recover mysterious energy artifacts known as COINs (Cyclic Omni-Inertial Nodes) for the terraforming corporation, Noble Futures.

But things are not as they seem...

  • Collect COINs to score points and increase your multiplier
  • Discover the mysteries of Exos, through dialog sequences each chapter
  • Progress through 48 story levels across 4 biomes.
  • Collect Magnet, Redirect, and Void abilities and a suite of upgrades for each

In Arcade mode, practice your skills and survive as long as you can, in randomized levels, with endless play.

  • First published 01/20/2026, last updated 01/26/2026.
  • The developer used generative AI to create game code.
  • No graphic violence or language. Contains dubious corporate and colonial ethics. Not appropriate for multi-national CEOs or anyone who thinks the torment nexus might be a good idea.
  • This game uses the crank for gameplay, and requires precise, repeated rotations. The magnet ability requires holding the Ⓐ or ⬆️ buttons, for comfort or left-handed play. The crank, Ⓐ and Ⓑ buttons, and ✛ are used to navigate menus. The Reduce Flashing system function is used to dampen sudden flashes and flickering effects. A game speed setting can increase or reduce the challenge as needed, with no score penalty. There is an optional no-fail mode for folks who just want to enjoy the story with less challenge. High scores won't be recorded in this mode.
