Wings up, pilots! Acecraft, the world's first fully hand-drawn, two-player co-op vertical shooter for mobile, launches globally today on iOS and Android. Players can now take to the skies of Cloudia with friends, dodge bullet storms, unearth treasure chests, and face the Nightmare Legion in the highly-anticipated game that has already surpassed 8 million players worldwide since pre-registration opened on 14 July.

Acecraft reinvents the bullet-hell genre by making players feel like they are stepping into a living cartoon. Its 1930s-inspired animation brings Cloudia to life, while its eight eccentric Ace Pilots each add their own flair. With duo mode, players won't just survive bullet storms, but they will have to outsmart them together, plotting strategies in real time as the skies throw new surprises their way.

Launch week lucky draw event

Acecraft is kicking off its global launch with a four-day celebration from August 28 to 31, headlined by a lucky draw packed with standout rewards, including a branded motorcycle and a custom Acecraft helmet set.

Two major events will anchor the festivities:

Acecraft Takeoff Night (28 August) - Launch livestreams featuring Xiaoting Miaomiao, Myrtle Sarrosa, and Pang3pong will put fans to the test with quickfire questions. The fastest correct answers win $15 gift cards from Razer, True Money, or Grab Gifts.
Cloudia Grand Fortune(31 August) - The grand finale puts players in the spotlight as ambassadors select finalists for the closing prize pool, with Facebook’s Lucky Wheel deciding who takes home the ultimate reward.

Note that this special event is only available for Southeast Asian players, as winners from other regions may not be able to claim their prizes.

Join in at launch and "Quack the Code"

Players joining at launch can dive into a line-up of activities designed to kick-start their journey. These events reward early adventurers with valuable in-game items, exclusive bonuses, and themed prizes, ensuring that new pilots are well equipped to join the fight against the Nightmare Legion from their very first flight.

Alongside these rewards, Acecraft challenges players with "Quack the Code", a mysterious hidden event available from launch. This challenge is not for the faint-hearted. It is the ultimate test of skill and persistence for any pilot. For six days, players must collect daily clues to piece together an English password (Hint: The first password is "SKY"). Only those who successfully decrypt the puzzle will unlock a secret stage built at nightmare difficulty, pushing even veteran pilots to their limits.

Success comes with prestige. Leaderboards will track the first players to clear the stage globally and regionally, as well as the fastest speedruns, turning every clear into a moment of bragging rights. Those who rise to the top will claim exclusive rewards, ranging from in-game avatar frames, dynamic avatars and even real-world prizes such as air tickets and theme park passes.

"Quack the Code" is more than an event. It is a proving ground for the most determined pilots of Cloudia.

Tom & Jerry: Your newest wingmen

To celebrate the global launch, Acecraft is rolling out its first major collaboration. The legendary chase between cat-and-mouse continues in Cloudia, where players can take to the skies as either Tom or Jerry, each with their own themed aircraft. Their pursuit spills across limited-time stages and themed events, where even Spike, the bulldog notorious for chasing Tom, appears as a boss encounter. More details on Tom, Jerry, and their aircraft can be found in Appendix A.

The Tom & Jerry collaboration kicks off on launch day, blending slapstick comedy with bullet-hell intensity.
