Starlight Survival

In Starlight Survival, you are the last line of defense against relentless waves of asteroids hurtling toward your stationary spaceship. Set in the dark expanse of space, this 2D survival arcade game combines strategy, precision, and endurance. Can you outlast the cosmic chaos and achieve the ultimate high score?

Gameplay:

You control a lone spaceship positioned in the center of the screen, surrounded by incoming asteroids. But there’s a twist: every shot you fire costs precious health, adding an extra layer of strategy to every decision you make. You’ll need to balance attacking and conserving health, as each shot brings you closer to danger.

Features:

  • Health-Linked Shooting Mechanic: Each projectile you fire depletes a portion of your health, turning offense into a strategic choice.
  • Dynamic Upgrades: Survive each wave to unlock one of three powerful upgrades, such as enhanced weaponry, defensive shields, or health regeneration. Stack upgrades to create a unique build that suits your survival style.
  • Increasing Difficulty: With each round, the challenge intensifies as asteroids speed up and arrive in more complex patterns. Surviving means staying sharp and constantly adapting.
  • Endurance Mode: Track your survival time and reach special milestones for rare rewards, such as temporary invincibility or rapid-fire power-ups.
  • Retro Arcade Style with a Modern Twist: Inspired by classic arcade shooters, Starlight Survival combines retro aesthetics with modern 2D graphics and responsive gameplay.

Survive as long as possible! Every moment counts, as time-based rewards and upgrades become essential tools in your quest to endure. The longer you last, the harder it becomes, but the rewards are worth the risk.

Can you survive the endless barrage and set a new record? Test your endurance, sharpen your strategy, and become the master of Starlight Survival!
