What is Ringward?

A fast, neon side-scrolling shooter with a rescue at its heart. The Triad Squadron has been scattered across five worlds. You fly the Vanguard: break the alien Dreadnoughts, scoop stranded colonists out of harm's way, and go after your missing wingmates one by one.

The Vanguard fighting a Dreadnought boss — Break the Dreadnoughts

Carrying a cockpit east across an ice field — Under the Ice

Chasing a burning alien carrier over a lava world — Captive

Defending a rift gate in a glowing spore forest — Signal in the Garden

Carrying an escape pod through a rockslide — Downed in the Ridges
