Outlast wave after wave, climb the weapon tree, and stare down the Photocopier itself. FEATURES - One-thumb controls โ€” drag to fly, auto-fire handles the rest - A branching weapon tree โ€” chain kills to upgrade from inkjet to laser toner and beyond - Combo multipliers that reward fearless, no-flinch play - Power-ups: AirPrint rapid-fire, cloud-printed drone wingmen, and more - Photocopier boss battles every few waves - A retro-futuristic look: synthwave starfields, glowing pixel art, CMYK printouts - Endless escalating waves and a local high score to beat - Plays great offline โ€” no account, no ads, no tracking Pick up the cartridge. Save the office. Death to printers.

About

Starflight Shooting

Features
Read full description

A vertical-scrolling bullet-hell shooter set among the stars. The four members of idol unit "Starflight Girls" take the controls of starfighters to face a galactic threat. Drag to dodge, auto-fire to win โ€” easy to pick up, thrilling to master. - ONE-FINGER CONTROLS - Just drag anywhere on screen to move your ship. Shooting is automatic, so you can focus on weaving through bullet patterns. Play on Casual or Normal, then clear Stage 6 to unlock Hard, where a single hit ends your run. - FOUR DISTINCT PILOTS - * Luna (Balanced) โ€” "Photon Ray" incinerates everything ahead * Lay (Assault) โ€” "Star Burst" wipes the screen, bullets and all * Layra (Sniper) โ€” "Time Dilation" slows enemy bullets to a crawl * Sophia (Support) โ€” "Aether Blessing" heals and fires homing shots Speed, shot patterns, and special skills are all different. Compare all four side by side in the hangar's stats table, then sortie with your favorite. - LIVE VOICE COMMENTARY - Your chosen pilot cheers you on with animated lip-sync and 108 voice lines: boss warnings, close calls, combo streaks โ€” your flight has a soundtrack of encouragement. - SIX SECTORS, AND A HIDDEN SEVENTH - Planet orbit, asteroid belt, nebula corridor, ice planet, the enemy armada, and the final fortress. Each stage ends with a colossal boss, and when its health drops it unleashes an ultimate: omnidirectional rock volleys, walls of crystal shards, a massive beam, summoned escorts. Watch for the warning. Clear every stage on Hard and a seventh sector, the Abyssal Corridor, opens up. - SCORE ATTACK AND ACHIEVEMENTS - S-to-D rank ratings with three missions per run, per-stage high scores, and 12 achievements. Keep your combo alive to power up your shot, and sortie on Hard for a 1.5x score multiplier. - FOUR EPILOGUES, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND - Clear all six stages to unlock that pilot's epilogue. See all four and a special Grand Ending plays out, followed by a full endroll. Anything you have watched can be replayed any time from the Gallery. - PLAY WITH PEACE OF MIND - Fully offline. No ads, no in-app purchases, no account required. Supports both iPhone and iPad. At the far edge of the sea of stars, four stories are waiting for you.
