G.A.T.E.S. — Game Ads Teased, Experience Served

You know those mobile game ads? The ones showing incredible gate-runner gameplay where you choose paths, multiply your army, and blast through enemies? Then you download the game and it's nothing like the ad?

We built the game those ads promised.

G.A.T.E.S. is a retro arcade shooter where you drag to move, auto-fire at enemy formations, and pass through gates that boost your stats. Choose your path wisely — every gate decision shapes your run. Fight through waves of enemies with unique behaviors, collect powerups, and face epic boss battles every 5 waves.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH Pass through gates to boost damage, fire rate, spread, shields, projectiles, and more. Risk gates offer high reward for the daring. Mystery gates keep you guessing.

BUILD YOUR ARMY Collect ships that fight alongside you. Watch your fleet grow from a lone fighter into a full squadron of upgraded warships.
