Vesper Drift: Bullet Hell

One thumb, automatic fire, four Blooms. Fly offline, try the free Daily Drift, then share your result card. Mastery adds replayable codes and reached-cycle practice.

A real bullet hell you can play with one thumb: drag anywhere on the screen and the ship follows the relative motion of your finger — never hidden under your hand, no virtual joystick in the way.

No ads, no account, no tracking, no subscription. Every run works fully offline. There is one optional purchase, Vesper Mastery, and nothing else to buy.

FREE AND UNLIMITED

The endless run, as many attempts as you like. All four Blooms, Nova, the Guardian fights. Your last twenty runs in the history panel, the offline local leaderboard and the Game Center one. And the Drift of the Day, free: one shared seed, one ranked attempt a day.

SHARE YOUR FINISHED RUN

Create a result card for free, preview it and choose where to share it. Score, duration, grazes and maximum Flux come from that run. Ranked runs and practice stay distinct; the card includes no drift code or player identity.

VESPER MASTERY — ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION

One optional purchase, paid once, for pilots who want to choose their track instead of drawing it:

• Cycle Chamber — restart the drift at any cycle you have already reached, as many times as you want, instead of flying the opening cycles again to reach the deep ones. • Drift codes — read out the code of any flight, type one in, fly that exact track again, and hand it to a friend.

Chamber and coded flights are training: they are kept in your run history and stay out of the leaderboards, so a comparable score always means the same thing. Nothing that already existed was moved behind this purchase, and if you were flying Vesper Drift before version 1.1.0, Mastery is already yours, free.

ENTER THE COSMIC FOREST

Guide a luminous starship through a portrait shoot’em up set deep in a cosmic forest.

ONE ENDLESS RUN

There is one focused endless challenge, free and unlimited. Your ship fires straight ahead automatically, with no hidden enemy targeting. Grazes and defeated threats charge Nova, which clears hostile fire automatically when full.

FOUR TEMPORARY BLOOMS

Pick up four temporary powers during the run. Twin Bloom multiplies your shots, Quickened Heart accelerates fire, Sun Pollen increases damage and Orbiting Veil absorbs a hit. Their short duration makes movement and timing matter.

LEARN FAST, MASTER THE FLUX

Readable formations introduce each threat before crossing enemies, aimed volleys, rings and lane patterns begin to overlap. Every covering lane pattern preserves and previews an escape corridor. Graze hostile fire to raise Flux, charge Nova and push your score.

SEEDED PROCEDURAL FOREST

Every run assembles a deterministic, multi-depth cosmic forest from a seed. The backdrop is composed at runtime only from the game’s existing ImageGen artwork, keeping the playfield alive while preserving a clear central corridor.

DRIFT OF THE DAY — FREE

One seed, the same for every pilot on the planet, until midnight UTC. One ranked attempt, then the track rolls over. It is free, and Vesper Mastery does not touch it.

ONE ENDLESS LEADERBOARD

Every score belongs to the same endless challenge. Keep a local leaderboard offline and optionally compare that same format on Vesper Drift’s single Game Center leaderboard.
