Umbra Downloads & RevenueUmbra: Space Fighter · App Store

A sun fills the screen. Your fighter skims its ring city, and behind you hundreds of ships fall into your wake, a river of blue light. Ahead lies an orange star and the swarm that guards it. The music rises. You dive, and your fleet dives with you.

This is Umbra: a starfighter in a living war, set in the universe of Totality.

YOUR FLEET
Fly past the stars you hold and their ships rally to you, following on tails of light and banking as you bank. Lead them at a rival star and they strike it with you: bring more ships than it holds, and it turns blue. Then warp, and you and your whole fleet jump kilometres across the war in a heartbeat.

A WAR THAT NEVER WAITS
Thousands of ships stream between the stars, and stars change hands whether you're there or not. Your rivals strike back at the stars you hold, each strike announced with a countdown and led by aces. Warp to it and shoot the aces down: each one takes its wing out of the war.

THE ROCKET
Fire it, and time slows to a third while the camera rides it. Steer it into an ace yourself. One is all it takes.

LIVING STARS
Every star is a danger as well as a prize:
• Suns scorch a ship that hugs them
• Blue giants reach further and burn hotter
• Pulsars sweep their beams round on a beat
• Black holes pull you in, and tear apart whatever crosses the edge
• Twin stars, red dwarfs, and a black hole that wanders
Every star a side holds wears a ring city, a deck for each level, built as its ships feed it.

TWELVE WARS IN THREE ACTS
Penumbra, Umbra and Totality, named for an eclipse as it deepens. A short guided war teaches you as you fly. Then each war brings one new thing, the rivals grow sharper and more of them fight at once, until the last act is chaos. Every rival has a character: the Spreader races you for every free star, the Raider strikes early and often, the Builder stacks up for one huge strike, and the Opportunist pounces on the star you leave empty.

MEDALS AND UNCHARTED
Three medals a war: win it, win it under par, and win it without being shot down. Chase your best time on every war. Once the first war is won, Uncharted gives you a new war on a fresh map, any time you like.

DOGFIGHT
Alone against them all. Fly into a war of orange, crimson and aqua, three sides fighting each other for the stars, and shoot down all twelve of their aces. Down one, and its side comes after you, its aces warping in one at a time. A new map every game, and a best time to beat, on its own Game Center leaderboard.

MADE TO FEEL ALIVE
Sixteen painted skies, a new one for every war, all the way round you. Totality's four soundtracks, Warm Pulse, Drift, Tide and Nightfall, composed live on your iPhone and rising with the fight. Every hit, every kill, the warp and the rocket, felt in your hand. Best with headphones.
