Cosmic Drift

Set inside a simulated digital world, opposing system factions fight for sector control across the grid.

Inspired by classic early-2000s 2D space combat games like SubSpace and Cosmic Rift.

A fast top-down space shooter with real zero-G momentum. You don’t stop on a dime, there’s no friction, and turning your ship doesn’t affect your trajectory without applying thrusters.

// PHYSICS

• Real Drift: Point your ship, fire your thrusters, and let off the gas. You'll keep sliding along your trajectory while turning freely to aim behind you, strafe around obstacles, or dodge incoming fire.
• Bouncing Off Walls: Colliding with walls or arena geometry won't dead-stop you. You bounce and slide off surfaces, carrying your speed into the next corridor.
• Weapon Momentum: Your ship's velocity carries directly into your projectiles. Firing while boosting forward adds extra speed to your shots, while drifting sideways or backward alters their trajectory.

The ship roster is organized into factions based on computer architecture. The roster is actively being expanded, currently featuring:

Different ships cater to completely different playstyles. Every ship features a unique primary and secondary weapon pairing built directly into its hull, giving each vessel its own distinct combat loop and handling.

// GAME MODES

Cosmic Drift features multiple game modes, alongside several other prototype modes currently in development:
