Overview
Description

Apophis Rising is a retro‑styled shooter that puts you in the cockpit of a lone fighter against relentless alien swarms. With tight touch controls and vibrant pixel art, the game delivers quick, arcade‑like sessions perfect for mobile play. The single‑player campaign features dozens of levels, challenging boss encounters, and a variety of power‑ups to keep the action fresh. Compete for high scores and unlock new ships as you defend humanity from the rising threat of Apophis.

Set in 2019, Earth faces a sudden alien onslaught that wipes out its military. As the newest pilot of the orbital carrier Omaha’s F-177 squadron, you must defend humanity from towering walkers and swift alien aircraft. Across ten missions spanning locations like Cairo, Los Angeles, and the Congo, you’ll manage fuel and ammo, refuel at supply depots, and use lasers and missiles to crush the enemy. Live‑action cutscenes weave a gritty story between battles.
