2D COMBAT.
LIVING DEPTH.

Built in Godot 4.7 with GDScript, Eventide keeps movement, projectiles and collisions in 2D. Layered environments, animated sprites and custom shaders give the flight its depth without changing the combat rules.

01 / IN FLIGHT

Read the pattern.
Find the opening.

Hold your primary fire, thread the gaps and time a Seeker salvo. Collect bio-energy to level up; every level pauses the fight for a choice of three upgrade cards.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT BUILD

DODGE.
ADAPT.
STRIKE.

30 SECONDS / IN-ENGINE GAMEPLAY

Three sectors, escalating encounters and two boss fights from the current playtest. Music and effects are included; playback starts only when you press play.

720p / SOUND ON PLAY

Curated in-engine captures with invulnerability enabled for filming. Not a complete playthrough or a performance benchmark. Contains flashing combat effects.

02 / THREE DESTINATIONS

Beyond the hangar.
Into the unknown.

Choose a destination before deployment. Each sector has its own atmosphere, layered landmarks and encounters along an authored route.

The Veil

Cold light, broken orbital structures and a distant fleet. The route escalates from small raiders to heavy ships before the Black Choir arrives.

Eclipsed Forge

A molten planet, orbital foundries and furnace stations. Ash and embers travel between independent layers of machinery and rock.

Hollow Tide

An alien ossuary in ice-blue light. Eight enemy types guard the approach to the Pale Regent, while a vast leviathan crosses the distant world.

03 / YOUR SHIP. YOUR RUN.

Launch with a hull.
Build an arsenal.

SEVEN ANIMATED PLAYER SHIPS

CHOOSE.
DEPLOY.
EVOLVE.

Eventide departure hangar showing the Umbra Pike and the seven selectable player ships — DEPARTURE HANGAR / UMBRA PIKE
Select one of seven hulls, from Umbra Pike to Rift Diver. Each has its own silhouette, running lights and engine animation. A cinematic close-up pulls back into flight.

01 / FIRE

Pulse. Beam. Chain.

Start with Twin Pulse cannons and paired Seeker missiles. Earn blueprints for lasers, angled plasma, piercing rail volleys or chain lightning. Switch between weapons unlocked in the current run.

02 / UPGRADE

Three cards. One choice.

Bio-energy fills your level meter. Choose damage, fire rate, hull, movement or other upgrades while combat pauses. Weapon cards can expand the loadout or improve missile recharge.

03 / RESTART

A fresh flight.

Upgrades belong to the run. Return to the hangar after victory or defeat and build again. Persistent between-run progression is not part of the current build.

04 / CLOSE CONTACT

Watch the arms.
Wait for the core.

The Black Choir and Pale Regent move their weapons independently. Read the telegraphed attack, cross the safe lane and use the exposed-core window to push back.

THE BLACK CHOIR

HOLD.
THREAD.
RETURN FIRE.

Eventide Black Choir boss encounter with six articulated mechanical arms and a visible attack warning — ARTICULATED BOSSES / PHASED COMBAT
Shots originate at the moving weapon tips. Fans, rings and lane volleys turn the boss rig itself into something you need to read, not just a target to shoot.
