Mayday is a shoot-em-up where defeating enemy waves grants you stat upgrades and penalties in equal measure, forcing tactical choices about which attributes to boost. You'll navigate through story and arcade campaigns, making strategic tradeoffs between offense, defense, and mobility as you build your pilot's loadout mid-run. It's ideal for shmup fans who enjoy both skill-based combat and meta-game decision-making.

Fun little arcade shooter with interesting enough gameplay and a passable story if a little too much is already established without the player getting to know it. Definitely worth the price however, especially considering the arcade replayable gamemode.

Regardless, there's not too much to say aside from please enjoy and have fun with the game!

TLDR: Here are the languages that are going to be supported for the version update tomorrow:Last update before the version goes live, but I'm aiming for a release tomorrow. I've been busy with schoolwork, exams, and other commitments, but I've pushed through and am aiming for a release tomorrow. The Arcade mode has already finished its testing and is ready to go. All that's left is the story mode, which means I've just got to play through and make sure there are no issues.I'm not a native speaker of these other languages, so if there are any issues with the translations or phrasing, please let me know. I really hope that you'll enjoy the game in different languages and enjoy the update, as there've been many small and big fixes. I won't list them all here, but there've been changes to the UI and the Arcade Mode. I'm really hoping this will add some new replayability. In conclusion, I'm dashing to the finish line, just a little push. Till then, see ya when the update drops!
