Burst Drive

Burst Drive is about destroying colorful aliens and seeing how far you can get before they overwhelm you. You steer a fighter, drift to line up shots and use boosts to move around.

Combat and survival

Firing generates heat. You can collect or buy extra cooling, or drift to release excess heat. Double-tapping boost triggers a short evasive dash. A hit without shields costs you a life, so you can disengage while your AEGIS shields recover.

Ship upgrades

Between sectors, you can shop for upgrades to your dash, extra shields, weapons and more.

Levels and co-op

The game has 50 levels that repeat and become harder with each loop in different ways. After defeating a boss, the real action begins. You can also play optional local co-op with two players, using extra controllers or the same keyboard, or use a mouse to aim and steer.
