The swarm has broken through. The Aurora fleet has one ship left in the fight: yours. Nyxtar is a fast, one-handed roguelite space shooter built for portrait play. Drag your finger to fly, your ship fires automatically, and every level-up hands you a choice that changes how the run plays out. FIGHT DEEPER INTO THE SWARM Push through sector after sector, each with its own enemies, hazards and a boss waiting at the end. The further you go, the harder the swarm fights back. BOSSES THAT TEST YOU Every boss plays differently. Learn its patterns, pick your targets and watch for red-zone ultimates as its health drops: read the warning and get out in time. BUILD YOUR RUN • Collect weapons like homing missiles, chain lightning, lasers and orbit drones • Stack passive upgrades to shape your ship the way you like • Combine the right weapon and passive to evolve devastating new forms • Save up shield, overload and nova boosts and trigger them at the perfect moment • No two runs play the same GROW YOUR FLEET • Unlock new ships, each with its own starting loadout • Spend Star Dust on permanent upgrades that make every new run stronger • Earn achievements for combat, progress and daily play • Watch an optional ad once a day for bonus Star Dust PLAY YOUR WAY • Choose the difficulty that suits you • Decide what happens when you lift your finger: keep flying, slow down or pause • A short flight school teaches everything in a couple of minutes • No internet connection needed to play • Available in English and Turkish Free to play with ads. Can you hold the line?
