Acecraft is back in the United States after vanishing from iOS and Android storefronts for 91 days, and the biggest takeaway for returning players is simple: account data was preserved. The cartoon-style bullet-hell shooter was pulled from US app stores in late January without a clear reason or return date, then came back online on April 20 with a new client required for anyone picking up where they left off.

Players who previously linked Facebook or Apple ID can log in and continue their progress, while Skystone Games says it is still restoring remaining features and working on Google Play restoration. The comeback also arrives with a compensation package aimed at the people who sat through the outage: 9,100 Diamonds and 91,000 Tempus Tokens, plus a one-time bundle of 40 Skyward Recruit Tickets, 40 Power Cubes, 40 Recruit Tickets, 120 Premium Keys, and 40 Treasure Keys. ACECRAFT added another one-time reward of 1 Epic Amplification Badge and 12 Cloudia Collectible Packs after the suspension stretched beyond expectations.

The relaunch is also a content push built to tempt lapsed pilots back into the loop. Skystone Games is highlighting three new characters, Vivienne, Sylas, and Leo, each tied to a different craft and playstyle, while the new Pappo system adds companion creatures meant to help flyers level up more efficiently. For a game built around fast dodges, projectile management, and character mastery, those additions matter more than a simple storefront return.

ACECRAFT’s scale makes the comeback harder to dismiss. The Google Play listing shows more than 5 million downloads and 403K reviews, while the U.S. App Store listing shows 30K ratings and a 4.8 score. After the January delisting and the long silence that followed an earlier expected return, the missing download button is finally back, the progress is intact, and the bullet-hell niche has enough momentum to justify reinstalling if you were waiting for a clean path back in.
