About

Starfall Vanguard

Read full description

Take to the stars and see how far you can get. Starfall Vanguard is a pick-up-and-play space shooter with simple controls, neon visuals, and a campaign that keeps raising the stakes. Drag your ship through ten stages, dodge enemy fire, collect upgrades, and blast your way toward a new boss in every level. Your ship fires automatically, so you can focus on the fun part: moving through danger, finding openings, and staying alive. When the screen gets busy, hold a second finger to bring up your shield and fight your way through. - Ten handcrafted levels, each with its own enemies, objective, and boss. - Weapon upgrades that turn a single shot into a wider spread. - Power-ups for faster fire, slowing enemies, a temporary clone, a Nova Bomb, shields, and extra lives. - Boss fights with changing attack patterns and moments when they are vulnerable. - Local high scores, plus optional Game Center leaderboards if you want to compete. Free to download and play. No ads. No in-app purchases. No loot boxes. Just a complete arcade shooter with a campaign to clear and a score to beat. Controls: Drag to move. Let go to pause. Hold a second finger to activate your shield.
