Save New York — Full Trailer

The city is under attack. You're the only thing between total destruction and... slightly less total destruction.

Save New York is a horizontal flying combat game where every building on the skyline can be blown apart block by block. Fight through waves of enemies across two iconic city zones — New York City and Las Vegas — each packed with landmark buildings, dynamic weather, and a battlefield that changes from day to night as the fight intensifies.

Two Warzones

New York City

Las Vegas

9 Waves — Boss Finale

The Strip comes alive as day turns 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. Every building transforms as the zone shifts from day to night.

Destructible Everything

Buildings aren't just scenery — they're the battlefield. Every structure is built from individual blocks that shatter, crumble, and collapse. Knock out the base of an Art Deco skyscraper and watch the floors above pancake down. Blast through the glass panels of the Pyramid Casino. 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.
