Shooter Sky

A vertical plane shooter in the bullet-dodging tradition, where firing is automatic and movement is everything. Your plane shoots continuously without input, which removes the decision to attack entirely and leaves one question open at all times: where is there space, and how long will it stay there. The skill is reading bullet patterns rather than reacting to individual shots. Enemy fire arrives in arrangements with gaps built into them, and the correct response is to move to where the gap will be rather than away from the nearest bullet — which is a genuinely different instinct and the main thing to unlearn. The hitbox is smaller than the plane looks, which makes threading a dense pattern possible and, once you trust it, considerably less frightening. Runs last a couple of minutes, bosses punctuate the waves, and the escalation is in pattern density rather than speed. The presentation keeps bullets clearly distinct from decoration, which is the genre's one non-negotiable visual requirement. It plays with one finger on a phone or four keys on a desktop and runs on very modest hardware.
