Save New York 2030
SteamSave New York is a horizontal flying combat game with fully destructible cities. Fight through waves of enemies across two iconic zones — New York City and Las Vegas — where every building on the skyline can be blown apart block by block.

Four ships. Four playstyles. The Interceptor is a pure-skill all-rounder — no abilities, no crutch. The Warhawk's Afterburner lets you hit hard and reposition fast. The [b]Viper's[/b] Barrel Roll gives full invulnerability to thread through bullet hell. The Valkyrie's Powerslide drifts at high speed through tight turns. No wrong choice — just different ways to save the city.

Six temporary weapon buffs and six permanent projectile modifiers combine for 36 unique loadouts. Stack Rapid Fire with Spread Shot for a wall of bullets. Pair Chain Lightning with Ricochet for chaos that bounces between everything on screen. Every run plays differently.

Nine waves through a rain-soaked skyline. Lightning cracks across Art Deco towers, a Gothic Bridge-Tower, and a Grand Cathedral. Artillery barrages start raining down from wave 4. Scout Drones swarm. Carriers spawn drone clouds. The zone ends with the Command Ship — a boss finale.

Nine waves as the Strip transforms from day to night. Neon lights up the Grand Resort, the Roman Palace, and the Pyramid Casino — its light beam cutting into the sky. Sandstorms roll in. Dust Devils rip across the battlefield, capturing ships and hurling them. Scorpions crawl the ground while Sky Stalkers dive from above.
Buildings aren't scenery — they're the battlefield. Every structure is built from individual blocks that shatter, crumble, and collapse under fire. Knock out a base and watch everything above come down. When city damage hits critical levels, emergency repair helicopters scramble with Apache escorts to patch what's left. Civilians are stranded on rooftops waiting for rescue. The city is counting on you. Try not to flatten it.

Unlock Zone 99 — the Custom Gauntlet — after completing both campaign zones. Design your own waves with full control over enemy types, spawn rates, and difficulty. Mix enemies from both zones. Stack mutators like Bullet Hellscape, Glass City, and Artillery Storm. Add perks to give yourself a fighting chance. Five save slots let you keep your favorite custom nightmares.

Every zone. Every boss. Bring a friend. Save New York supports full 2-player local co-op with dual gamepad or split keyboard controls.
