“Good morning, galaxy! This is the pirate wave. Bad news: you’ve all been switched off. Good news: I haven’t.”

Volta, pirate DJ and pilot

The night the music stopped

Out in the Airwaves, the galaxy where sound carries through space, every planet is a radio station with its own song. Then the conductor machine Monotone decided there is only one right sound in the universe, a clean A at 440 hertz, and everything else is noise.

His Jammers switch the stations off one by one. The music dies, the planets turn grey, people whisper. Only one pirate station is still on air: DJ Volta’s little ship. With Bobina, her cassette robot, she turns everything up to full.

dear listeners. music has been switched off for your peace of mind. thank you for the silence.— Monotone

How it plays

  1. Fly with one fingerDrag anywhere on the screen; the ship fires by itself. On a computer: arrows or WASD.
  2. Catch the tapesDowned music boxes and tape trucks drop weapon tapes. Five steps of volume for every tape, then overdrive.
  3. Drop a recordFour kinds of bombs, from a bass drop that turns bullets into notes to a wall of sound.
  4. Bring the colour backEvery Jammer you down gives the station some colour back. Beat the boss, and it goes on air.
  5. Upgrade in the garageSpend your picks between stations: amplifier, sleeve, backing vocals, a spare ship.
