Star Blaster — Free Space Shooter Arcade Game
Move the ship left or right with touch, mouse, or the ← → keys. Firing is automatic.
How to play
Move your ship left/right with finger or mouse — it fires automatically. Shoot the descending enemies; you lose a life if one slips past or hits you. Waves ramp up over time with faster, denser enemies.
Origin & history
Star Blaster follows the classic vertical-scrolling shooter (shmup) lineage that began with 1978's Space Invaders, reimagined as a browser arcade game.
FAQ
How do I aim?
There's no separate aiming — line your ship up under an enemy and the auto-fire does the rest. Positioning and dodging are the skill.
Does it play well on mobile?
Yes — it's a portrait-optimized canvas game controlled by touch drag. No install or login needed.
