Three fleets came out of the dark and took the lanes one by one. Command has one hull left to send โ€” yours. Starshard is a vertical space shooter built on one promise: FAIR PLAY. No pay-to-win. No energy timers. Just you, your ship, and endless waves of alien fleets โ€” now fully playable in English and Turkish. DODGE. BLAST. SURVIVE. Weave through bullet storms with one finger. Collect power-ups, charge your weapons, and carve through six enemy types โ€” from swarming scouts to armor-plated frigates โ€” plus elite gold variants that hit harder and fly faster. DRAFT YOUR BUILD, EVERY RUN Defeat a boss and choose 1 of 3 upgrades: side cannons, homing missiles, piercing lasers, combat drones, tail guns, flak rounds and more. Every run builds differently. Every choice matters. EPIC BOSS BATTLES Three alien dreadnought factions guard the void, each with its own attack patterns โ€” bullet curtains, radial bursts, summoned reinforcements. Push them past half health and face their enraged second phase. BUILD YOUR HANGAR Earn shards and unlock permanent gear: escort wingmen, drone bays, shield generators, afterburners. Choose your ship โ€” the balanced Interceptor, the nimble Falcon, or the heavy Titan โ€” and equip a loadout that fits your style. CAMPAIGN + ENDLESS Clear campaign missions with hand-crafted enemy compositions, or chase your record in endless mode across deep space, planetary sectors, and asteroid fields. Climb the pilot ranks from Cadet to legend. FAIR MONETIZATION โ€ข No pay-to-win, no energy timers, no subscriptions โ€ข Optional rewarded ads for a revive or bonus crystals; a short ad between runs, never mid-fight โ€ข One purchase removes all ads, forever โ€ข Everything is earnable by playing The void is waiting, pilot. How far will you fly?

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Outer Space at none against Starshard's shown. Outer Space also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
