## What is Space Squadron?

Fly a starfighter through a nebula-lit warzone and take on enemy squadrons and capital ships in full 3D.
Every wave hits harder. Every 5 waves a Dreadnought warps in, and every 10 waves the colossal Titan arrives.

FOUR FIGHTERS
- Falcata: twin-engine, twin-tail all-rounder
- Lance: slim delta-wing interceptor, the fastest ship in the hangar
- Bulwark: twin-boom heavy fighter with four nose cannons and a deep missile rack
- Kestrel: gull-wing dogfighter with a razor-sharp turn and a strong ion cannon
Each ship comes in three paint schemes.

BUILD YOUR LOADOUT
Earn credits in battle and spend them on gear.
- Primary: Pulse Laser, Rapid Laser, Scatter Cannon, Railgun
- Missiles: Homing, Swarm (4 at once), Heavy Torpedo
- Two skill slots: Quick Turn (instant 180° flip), Shockwave, Aegis Shield, Hunter Drones, Flares, Overdrive
- Hardpoints on the wings, spine and belly: cannons, rocket pods, an auto turret, armor, a shield amplifier and more. Everything you bolt on shows up on your ship.

CAPITAL SHIP BOSS FIGHTS
Pick off the turrets one by one, destroy the shield generators, then hit the core. When the Titan's superlaser starts charging, get out of the line of fire. Watch for the fighters launching from its hangars.

TIGHT, READABLE CONTROLS
- Left stick to steer; buttons on the right for guns, missiles, boost and skills
- Cockpit HUD with lock-on, missile warning, radar and speed gauge
- Clear hit markers, plus smoke and fire as ships take damage
- Your hull repairs 30% after every wave, so good runs can go long
- Invert pitch and toggle sound effects, music and hit sounds

A SKY WORTH FLYING IN
Earth and the starfield are built from NASA imagery, with a nebula rendered in Blender and a derelict station adrift among the wreckage. HDR lighting and bloom make every laser and explosion glow.

ALSO
- English and Japanese
- No connection needed: play anywhere, any time
- Chase your high score and push to the next wave

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-23

I implemented the online battle.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-22

The army of an enemy world, the Fighter Planet, has attacked the cities of Earth. You are an Army pilot. Defend the city in your fighter jet, then fly into space and take the fight to the enemy's home.

FLY OVER REAL CITIES Tokyo's Shinjuku is built from Japan's national 3D city model (PLATEAU) and aerial photos. Weave between the towers and chase enemies over the streets. You also fight over New York, Paris, London and Moscow.

NAMED BOSSES The invasion battleship NOCTURNE breaking through the clouds. The planet cannon LONGBOW aimed at Earth. FORGEHEART, the heart of the planet. When a boss appears, a short scene shows its name and title.

100 MISSIONS 10 chapters and 100 missions: waves of fighters, tank columns, drone swarms, missile sites in the city at night, shield generators in orbit, high-speed runs through a narrow trench and inside the planet. The game always shows you one next mission, so you always know what to do.

GROW YOUR AIRCRAFT 8 fighter jets. The more you fly one, the higher its level (up to 10) and the stronger it gets. Choose weapons, missiles, skills and add-on gear to build your own fighter.

YOUR AIR BASE Between missions you return to your Army air base. Get your briefing from command, then take off from the runway.

CONTROLS THAT FEEL GOOD Steer with the left thumb; fire, missiles, ion cannon and boost with the right. Charge the ion cannon, unleash your ultimate attack "Charge Impact", and race against your fuel. Drag on an empty part of the screen to look around.

PLAY WITH PEACE OF MIND No ads. No in-app purchases. No internet connection. No personal data collected.

Available in English and Japanese.
