BEACON 9

You came to switch off the last station in a dead sector. Then the beacon woke up, and a transport listed as evacuated called for help. Fourteen people are still out there, and nobody is coming for them.

BEACON 9 is a low-poly sci-fi rescue adventure: repair a station, investigate what went wrong, fight the machines still following an old shutdown order, and get everyone home.

• A complete story campaign. A prologue and nine sectors, about 60–90 minutes from first light to the final evacuation.
• Fight a shutdown order nobody cancelled. Drones, crawlers, turrets, mortars and colossus walkers. Fly with the jetpack, dodge, fire your pulse and chain kills up to ×5 for overdrive.
• Drive and fly. A rover, two cargo trucks, an articulated mobile base, and orbital runs through asteroid fields, interceptor squadrons, boost rings and hyperspace jumps.
• Repair, investigate, rescue. Carry parts, follow physical clues, route power through terminals and keep the survivors alive.
• Upgrade as you go. Salvage from every fight funds five workshop upgrades. Hidden supply caches and per-sector medals reward a second run.
• Arena. Endless survival under rising pressure, with a high score to beat.
• Narrated in English and Spanish (Spain), with subtitles and an original cinematic score.
• Keyboard, gamepad or touch. Plays in desktop and mobile browsers. Progress saves automatically.
