Loading Nova Lancer…
A free 3D rail shooter: your lancer squadron flies a set route over an ocean, a canyon and a neon fortress, and you steer, roll, brake and fire while enemy formations come at you. One mission of about three minutes ends in a boss fight. Every terrain, ship and sound is generated as you play, so a round starts the moment you press start.

Yes. It runs in your browser with no account, no download, no advert before the game and no payment.
One mission takes about three minutes plus the boss fight, so a full round fits in a coffee break.
The ship flies itself along the route, so a single thumb on the fire button keeps you in the game. The roll, brake, boost and bomb buttons are laid out for a second finger when you want them.
It is a 3D game, so give it a recent phone and close other tabs if a round stutters. It starts at the tap of a button, with nothing to install first.
