What do the red gates do?

Red gates carry −10 or ÷2 and shrink your army, so always favour the green ×/+ side unless it is the only gap.

How does the boss fight work?

At the end your whole army charges a boss horde; you win if even one runner survives the clash, so arrive as large as possible.

Is Cosmic Horde Gate free to play?

Yes — it is completely free, runs in your browser with no download or sign-up, and works on phones, tablets and desktops.

Does it work on mobile?

Absolutely. Drag your thumb to steer the crowd; the lane, gates and boss clash are all tuned for portrait touchscreens as well as keyboard.

📖 View Web Story

Few mechanics feel as good as steering a living swarm through the right gate and seeing your numbers explode. In Cosmic Horde Gate you command a crowd of runners pouring down a star-strewn cosmic causeway drifting through the void, a gate run where a gate-multiplier dash where every fork doubles or dooms your army. You drag a swarm of little runners down a scrolling lane lined with paired operator gates. Each fork offers two choices — ×2, +20, −10 or ÷2 — and you must steer the whole crowd through the one that grows your numbers fastest. Read the maths in a split second, because the lane never slows and a greedy wrong turn can halve your hard-won army in an instant.The aim is simple to state and hard to do: thread the best gate at every fork, smash the barriers, and storm the boss horde with the biggest army you can muster. Late forks deliberately pair a fat multiplier against a small one to punish autopilot steering.Touch, mouse and keyboard all feel native, and the whole thing runs free in your browser with nothing to install.Cosmic Horde Gate plays calm and precise across a star-strewn cosmic causeway drifting through the void — every space gate run rewards patience over panic. From the first tap, Cosmic Horde Gate makes its space hook obvious and hard to put down. It is free, loads instantly and saves your progress — start a run now.
