How to play

  1. Move your ship with the mouse, left/right arrows or A/D. Firing is automatic, so focus on dodging and lining up your shots.
  2. Catch upgrade capsules for extra firing lanes, faster shots or protection. New upgrades unlock through the campaign; repeated timed upgrades refresh their duration.
  3. Complete enemy waves to fill the stage progress bar. Every fifth stage ends with a guardian using three attacks. Watch the warnings, defeat all ten guardians, and continue into harder cycles. Your checkpoint saves at each new stage.
  1. Drag your finger across the lower part of the field to steer left and right. Your ship stays above your finger and fires automatically.
  2. Catch colourful upgrade capsules. Avoid enemy shots and move out of marked laser lanes before they activate.
  3. Reach 100% to finish the stage. A guardian awaits every fifth stage. Play vertically; the game pauses if you turn your phone sideways. Your checkpoint saves at each new stage.

A little more about the game

Starwake is a free online space shooter with a generated 50-stage campaign. Fly through Pearl Orbit, Rose Nebula, Crystal Expanse, Silent Shipyard and Violet Current. Ten distinct guardians appear every five stages, each with three alternating weapon patterns, from splitting bombs and weaving shots to warned laser lanes. Discover twelve upgrade types as new chapters open, including twin shot, shields, seekers and wing drones. The first two stages introduce varied formations and guaranteed upgrades. After stage 50, stronger campaign cycles continue. Stage checkpoints and your best score save on this device. No account or download required.
