A chill, no-pressure basketball game where the hoop keeps moving farther away. Balls can be sausages. Remember that quiet feeling when you go out to an empty court late at night just to shoot around by yourself? No one yelling in your face, no shot clock, and zero pressure. Just you, the hoop, and the ball. That's the entire vibe here. At some point, you'll catch yourself trying to sink a shot from 450 meters away across an endless black void instead of going to sleep. Welcome to VOID: Distance Basketball. You don't have to sweat for that 5,000m record. Restart whenever you want, jump in for five minutes, or just zone out and fling balls into the dark for an hour. Shoot at your own pace. Nobody is rushing you. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • CLASSIC · 5000 m — every goal moves you one meter farther from the hoop. 50 m is easy. 500 m gets interesting. • HOOPSCOTCH — hop from island to island, ring by ring. Bounce off walls, break blocks, throw a sausage if it comes to that. WHAT'S WAITING IN THE DARK • ZERO RUSH, NO PRESSURE — No timers, no lives, no pop-ups. Miss as much as you like. • HOOPSCOTCH (NEW) — Walls and blocks stand between you and the ring. Eggs, fish, bananas, sausages and pumpkins each do something different. Own stats, own achievements, own world leaderboard. • STRANGE BALLS — Draw a constellation in the sky and get a pumpkin, a banana, or a sausage. Miss a lot and the game hands you a duck. • WONDERS — Whales sing, comets carry your shot, and a fly the size of a bus shows up. Nobody knows why. • FLYING CHESTS — Catch chests with wings for coins, trails and ghost skins. • STAR CHART — Build your own style with Blessings like Triple Shot and Drop. • FOUR WORLDS, ONE NIGHT — Forest, city, dunes and canyons, all under the same sky. • PURE CHILL IN THE DARK — Minimalist visuals, offline play, instant restarts.

Three fleets came out of the dark and took the lanes one by one. Command has one hull left to send — 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 — 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 — from swarming scouts to armor-plated frigates — 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 — 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 — the balanced Interceptor, the nimble Falcon, or the heavy Titan — 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 • No pay-to-win, no energy timers, no subscriptions • Optional rewarded ads for a revive or bonus crystals; a short ad between runs, never mid-fight • One purchase removes all ads, forever • Everything is earnable by playing The void is waiting, pilot. How far will you fly?
