Hell has had enough of being down below. The damned are climbing: row upon row of imps, devils and worse pour out of the seven gates of hell and march up through the clouds, straight for the Pearly Gates.

Between them and paradise stands one angel. You. Armed with lightning, a halo and a profound lack of backup. Hold the line through all 22 circles of hell, topple the seven guardians, then face the Sardonic Wrath himself.

Do well, and Heaven will be grateful. Probably.

The classic invaders formula, turned upside down and set on fire.

66 levels, 22 circles of hell

Every circle sends a new horde, each uglier than the last, from the Impish Rabble to the Lava Lords.

Seven guardians. Then the Devil.

Find the weak spot, read the glow before each attack, and survive the second half of the fight.

One finger, no mercy

Drag to move. Keep touching to fire. Hold still to charge a bolt that tears down a whole column.

Twin angels

Free a captured angel and it fights at your side: twice the lightning, and a spare halo.

Cover that never lasts

Hide behind the clouds while they last. Forks, fire, demons and your own lightning wear them away.

Three ways to suffer

Purgatory, Hell or Nightmare. Each keeps its own top-10 scores.

17 awards and Game Center

Earn them all, from First Blood to Blackened, and climb a leaderboard for every mode.

An original black metal soundtrack

Every note, sprite and sound made from scratch for this game. No samples. No mercy.

Every circle sends a new horde, each uglier than the last. There are 22. And they bring friends.

Imp

10 pts

The lowest rung on hell’s ladder. Marches, throws pitchforks, dies in droves. Still bites.

Winged Devil

20 pts

Loves to break ranks and dive at you. Hit one mid-swoop for double points.

Horned Elite

30 pts

Hell’s middle management. Drags angels away on a glowing chain. Shoot it to set them free.

Shield-bearer

Circle II

Skulks in the front row behind a riveted iron shield. Three bolts, or one charged bolt.

Splitter

Circle III

Held together by a seething purple seam. Kill it and it bursts into two furious mini imps.

Cloud-eater

Circle III

Gnaws holes in your clouds from below. Deeper down, it breathes fire.

Necromancer

Circle V

When it glows green, one of your victims is about to get back up. Kill it first.

Paimon, King of Hell

Level 40

Rides a dromedary at the back of the horde. When his fanfare sounds, the whole horde throws at once. Only a charged bolt can slay him.

The Archfiend

??? pts

Skims the hell-rift now and then, sneering. Worth a mystery bonus.

At the end of every third circle, a giant of its horde with a trident, a temper and a health bar. At half health, every guardian loses its temper, and its good looks.

After level 9

Belial, Lord of Forks

Opens with fans of aimed pitchforks and wide sweeping sprays. Thinks he is the main event.

After level 18

Baal the Brawler

Adds rapid streams of forks aimed right at your halo. Subtle as a brick.

After level 27

Abaddon the Spiked

The first to roam free, in every direction. Spits out imps and bursts up through your clouds.

After level 36

Asmodeus the Wailer

Adds a rain of zig-zagging forks. His wailing is worse.

After level 45

Mammon the Enforcer

Starts throwing infernal forks that can't be knocked away. Greed is good, he says.

After level 54

Moloch the Herald

More infernal forks, more often, and the first inverted crosses. Hungry for angels.

After level 63

Beelzebub, Cinder King

The last of the seven. Even more crosses, and everything his brothers did, angrier.

After level 66

The Sardonic Wrath

The Devil himself, in person. Throws everything and has a few words for you. The game is named after him. He insisted.

Tap MODE on the title screen. Each mode keeps its own high scores.

Five angels, gentler hordes, a faster charge. For the merely sinful.

Three angels. The game as it was meant to be suffered.

One angel, no extra lives, and everything faster and nastier. Good luck. No, really.

Pay once, play everything. No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking. Your scores stay on your iPhone, and in Game Center if you like.

The horde is already climbing. Heaven is counting on you. Heaven has been wrong before.
