## What is Squadaga?

Defeating enemies is only the beginning.
Capture them, recruit them, and fight together!

SQUADAGA is a retro pixel shooter built around a unique capture system.

■ CAPTURE & SQUAD
Collect capture items dropped by defeated enemies to convert them into allies. Allies fight alongside you automatically, and the right combination triggers powerful formation skills.

■ 16 SHIPS
Fighter, Tank, Speed, Capture — 16 ships derived from 4 base types. Each has unique stats and an ultimate ability.

■ FORMATION SKILLS
Pierce Laser, Bullet Storm, Healing Wave, Omega Strike, and more — 6 formation skills that auto-charge when your squad meets the right conditions.

■ ULTIMATE ABILITIES
Every 10 waves, gain an ultimate charge to turn the tide. Each ship type unleashes a different devastating ability.

■ CHALLENGE & COMPETE
- Endless waves and bosses that grow stronger
- Global leaderboard
- Daily challenges with unique modifiers
- 50+ achievements to unlock

■ DIVERSE ENEMIES
From Beetles, Squids, Moths, and Scarabs to Bombers, Splitters, Teleporters, and Healers. Elite variants and 5 boss types await.

■ PROGRESSION
Spend coins earned in battle on permanent upgrades. Damage, fire rate, shield duration, magnet range, and more — 15 upgrades to master.

Retro pixel art × chiptune soundtrack × strategic capture mechanics.
Assemble your squad and launch into space!


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-07-17

SQUADAGA 1.7.0

■ New: Endless Mode
Start from a zone you've already reached. Launch at wave 101 (Nebula), 201 (Void) or 301 (Inferno) — the further you get, the more zones unlock.
Higher zones start with enemies scaled to that wave, so you build your loadout first: pick your upgrades on the pre-launch screen, and start with a full squad and ultimate charges. In a hurry? "Random pick rest" fills the remaining choices for you.

■ Per-Mode Leaderboards
Classic, Endless, Time Attack and Boss Rush now each have their own board, instead of every mode sharing one. After a run, the leaderboard opens on the mode you just played.

■ Weekly Leaderboards
Alongside the all-time boards, weekly rankings reset every Monday — so there's always a fresh race even when the top spots are locked in.

■ Fixes
· Fixed an issue where another player using the same nickname could delete your leaderboard record.
· Fixed score submission hanging indefinitely while offline.
· Fixed the leaderboard showing "No records yet" when it simply failed to load. It now reports a connection failure and lets you retry.
· Continue is now correctly limited to 3 times per run. The limit was not being applied in previous versions.
· Fixed "Perfect Dodge", "Speed Runner", "Lone Warrior" and "Solo Clear" unlocking on the wrong conditions. They now require exactly what their descriptions say.

Thanks for playing. Feedback and bug reports are always welcome.
