Acecraft Launches Mobile Bullet Hell with Classic Action

• Acecraft is now available on iOS and Android
• This retro-inspired, animation-style bullet hell game delivers a classic aesthetic in a fresh genre
• Developer Skystone Games has also secured a crossover collaboration with Tom and Jerry for the launch

Nostalgic throwbacks are common in gaming, ranging from tributes to the NES and Sega Genesis eras to unexpected surprises. A perfect example is Acecraft, a charming cartoon-style bullet hell shooter just released on iOS and Android!

At first glance, you might think Acecraft comes from the same studio as Cuphead. But its distinct rubber-hose animation style, reminiscent of classic cartoons, is entirely Skystone Games' original creation. While it feels familiar, Acecraft carves out its own unique space.

The retro aesthetic wraps around a solid, well-executed bullet hell experience. You control a cartoon character piloting a personal aircraft, navigating 2D environments, evading enemies and a barrage of projectiles, before facing off against challenging bosses.

A surprise attack

Acecraft launched with an impressive marketing campaign. Beyond online ads and their presence at PAX 2025, Skystone Games secured a collaboration with animation legends Tom and Jerry.

This is a significant achievement. Now that Acecraft is available globally, it faces the real test. Bullet hell enthusiasts are discerning, and the genre is notoriously tough for casual players. Can Skystone balance difficulty with accessibility? Will the rubber-hose animation become iconic or remain a novelty? Only time will tell!
