Sand Worn Whitepaper

Sand Worn is a momentum-first arcade flight game set in a dying sun’s desert. You pilot a nimble craft across shattered megastructures and buried cities while threading luminous energy rings to build speed. The storm is your timer: keep the flow or be swallowed by the dunes.

Our design pillars are: clarity (rings readable under sandstorms), feel (controller-leading inputs with crisp keyboard parity) and meaningful mastery (riskier lines pay with speed and score). Boss arenas turn the loop into learnable set-pieces: patterns, hazards and tiny windows for perfect cuts.

Three distinct kingdoms—Shatter Spires, Oasis Veil and the Black Dune Belt—shape routes and tactics. Ion-charged air, thermal updrafts and debris fields force on-the-fly adaptation. Titans aren’t just health bars; they bend the space you fly through.
