Herringen

About this game

Herringen is a challenging free-flight arcade bomber game with a retro aesthetic.

You control a ship armed with heavy explosives and are tasked with taking down an impossibly large Fortress under a moody, colour-compressed sky.

Evade attacks, take breakneck trajectories through obstacles and destroy your target as fast and stylishly as you can to improve your score.

Features

  • Satisfying Evades

    Sharp reflexes are rewarded with astonishing speed and a full reload of your bombs.

  • Depth & Inertia

    Mastering movement will make the difference between life and death. Know the weight of your ship, let it become an extension of your body.

  • Imposing Fortress

    Many interconnected paths are available to you: understand the architecture of your target and obliterate it. 

  • Power from Danger

    Every enemy projectile an opportunity to reload, every obstacle an agility boost. Play on an absolute razor's edge.

  • Scoring & Leaderboard

    Destroying the Fortress is one thing, doing it well is another. Learn, try again, improve your score and climb the leaderboard.
