After a wildly successful launch on PC and Switch, Code Wakers are pleased to reveal the extensive free update for Jet Lancer, which is available now on Steam. Arcade Mode aims to offer a whole new outlet for fans of the game's frenetic dog-fighting, with a new take on wave-based arcade shooting.
Survive endless waves of enemies, deadly multi-boss battles, and stretch three lives to the limit as players put their Jet Lancer skills on the line for the ultimate bragging rights.
v Influenced by rogue lite games of recent years, players will earn different, stacking upgrades to their base jet over the course of each run, which provide a completely unique play through experience each and every time.

The update will include:
- An endless wave-based score-attack mode.
