An arcade jet flight sim over a stylized Manhattan — a procedural island of tinted towers, landmark spires, two rivers and a harbor, with a chase-cam fighter jet built from a hand-lofted procedural mesh.

Modes

  • Time Trial — race a course of glowing ring gates threaded between the skyscrapers. The next gate glows amber, an arrow and the minimap point the way, and every gate adds bonus seconds. Three courses: Liberty Run (harbor loop), Midtown Canyon (street-level slalom), and the unlockable Night Skyline.
  • Free Flight — open cruise. Touch down slow and level on a helipad (Hudson pier or the downtown rooftop) to finish.

Arcade flight model: velocity chases the nose, lift builds with airspeed, stalls drop the nose below 95 km/h, and banking turns steer you through the canyons. Crashing into buildings, water, or streets ends the run — slow-mo explosion, respawn at your last gate.

Progression

Best times per course persist in the world. Clearing a course unlocks the next one — and clearing any course unlocks the faster red Interceptor.

All audio is procedurally synthesized in-world (engine loop pitched by throttle, wind by airspeed, chimes, warnings, explosion, ambient bed).
