Mach-X is out

Mach-X leaves the closed test and is live on Google Play in every country. Free to try, one Full Version unlock, a fresh start for everyone.

Bombing a train on a rail line through farmland

Mach-X is live on Google Play, in every country Google Play sells in. The closed test is over.

How it works now

The download is free. You fly the Hornet through the first world, up to the wave-10 clear, as often as you like. That is the whole free game, and it is meant to show you what a run feels like, not to nag you.

One Full Version purchase opens everything else: every aircraft, every world and mode, the gunship raids, the Black Market, pushing past wave 10 and hosting co-op. It is a one-time unlock. For the first two months there is a launch price. Joining a friend who has the Full Version stays free.

There are no ads, no subscription and nothing you can buy that makes you stronger. The supporter and cosmetic packs only change how the game looks and sounds.

A fresh start

With version 1.14.0 every pilot starts over: progress and the world rankings reset, so everyone begins on equal terms on launch day. Settings, bought packs and your friends list stay. The rankings are now in their first live season.

Thank you, testers

The closed test is the reason the game is in shape to launch. Testers found crashes I would never have seen on my own phones, told me where runs felt unfair and kept playing builds that were not finished. Everyone who played during the closed test keeps the Full Version for free.

What comes next

  • Fixes first: anything players run into in the first weeks
  • Then more builds, weapons, raids and gunships
  • The changelog keeps the full notes for every update

Feedback and bug reports still go straight to me at sinikgamedev@gmail.com. And if you enjoy it, a rating on Google Play helps a small game more than anything else.
