Starshot Genesis

Fast-paced first-person space combat arcade shooter

Pilot your ship through 3D space, blast waves of enemies, and survive as long as you can while climbing the leaderboard. Strafe and dodge in full 3D while aiming with the mouse and moving with WASD, Shift, and Space. Start with twin cannons and earn weapon upgrades every 500 points (up to five tiers) so you grow stronger the longer you last.

Core gameplay

• Enemies spawn from portals in packs: strafers, interceptors, and variants with traits like armored, fast-fire, and elite
• Boost (right mouse button), Warp (extra speed when boosting forward), and Ultimate ability: shield overcharge burst on a long cooldown
• Shields soak hits and recharge after a delay; health regenerates when you avoid damage long enough
• Difficulty increases with your score and weapon tier: more enemies, tougher packs

Controls

WASD to move, Space/Shift for up/down, mouse to aim, left mouse button to fire, right mouse button to boost. HUD shows score, health, shield, weapon level, kills, and boost/warp/ultimate status.

Features

• Online leaderboard tracks high scores (offline scores stay local)
• In-game music by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen / Torque / courtesy of Epidemic Sound
• Custom sound effects for upgrades, fusion cannons, low health, ultimate ready, warp, and kills
