Skywarden: Jet Plane Shooter

The Ashen Dominion's war machines are pushing across the Ember Front. You are what stands in the way.

Skywarden: Ember Front is a vertical-scrolling plane shooter built for one thumb. Fly modern fighter jets through a 75-mission air combat campaign, read the enemy's fire, and bring down flagship bosses that adapt to how you fly. Every weapon is grounded in modern warfare: cannon rounds, rockets, heat-seeking missiles and flares. No lasers. No cartoons.

Play this shoot 'em up fully offline, anywhere. No ads and no account needed. Optional in-app purchases.

A FULL AIR COMBAT CAMPAIGN
• 75 missions across 3 theatres and 13 battlefields, from Green Valley and Harbour Siege to Glacier Pass and Final Command
• Warships at sea: shoot the guns off missile boats, frigates and destroyers, then sink them in the Burning Gulf
• Normal, Hard and Ace tiers on every mission, each with its own stars and records
• A first clear takes about 6 to 9 hours

BOSS BATTLES THAT FIGHT BACK
• 6 flagship bosses, each with its own silhouette, tactics and cinematic ultimate
• 4 minibosses that return as tougher Mk II and Mk III builds
• Strafing runs, dives, flanking and re-entry passes, chosen by a boss AI that reads how you fly and punishes habits
• Phases change as you destroy a boss's guns and armour

There is no pattern to memorise, only threats to read and answer.

A MODERN WARPLANE ARSENAL
• A thick, visible cannon stream, rockets and heat-seeking missiles
• Missile warnings are real warnings: break, pop flares, keep your jet alive
• Gun Run overdrive for when the sky gets crowded
• Tracer rounds, SAM launch trails, flak bursts and explosions built from fire and smoke

10 FIGHTER JETS, ONE HANGAR
Fly 10 aircraft, from the agile Falcon-01 jet to the heavy Titan. Each jet has its own upgrade tracks, a signature passive and tiered progression. Upgrade weapons, hull, engine, missiles and armour, build your squadron, and bring the right plane to the right fight.

MORE WAYS TO PLAY
• Survival: keep your plane in the air as long as you can; after 10 minutes it tips into overtime
• Boss Rush: 12 boss battles back to back
• Challenges and a Daily Sortie
• A mission log of every sortie you have flown, with one tap to replay it
• Daily supply, commendations and a supply depot keep progress moving

TENSION YOU CAN HEAR
Threats are foreshadowed before they arrive: silhouettes overhead, shadows on the ground, distant shelling. Layered music tightens as danger builds, radio chatter keeps you in the fight, and cockpit warning tones tell you when a missile is inbound.

BUILT FOR ONE THUMB
Fly your jet with one thumb: follow-finger drag, slide or a floating stick, with adjustable sensitivity. Fire on auto or hold to shoot, and turn on reduced shake, reduced flashes, reduced motion or radio subtitles if you need them. Every mission plays offline, so this jet shooter is ready on a flight, a commute or anywhere without signal.

HARD, BUT FAIR
Skywarden grew out of classic arcade shoot 'em ups (shmups), so difficulty comes from smart enemies and readable, telegraphed fire, not cheap shots. Dodge bullets, return fire, and learn each threat. Normal is for finishing the war. Ace is for proving you can.

If you grew up on top-down airplane shooting games and want one with modern jets, real boss battles and no interruptions, this air combat plane shooter was made for you.
