Stardust Escape

Stardust Escape is a top-down shooter where you survive 15-minute runs against escalating swarms of geometric enemies. You move and shoot with twin-stick controls, take on space-station quests and upgrade your ship with gold you collect during runs.

Survival runs

Runs come in four difficulty settings, each with its own leaderboard. You can replay with different builds, weapon combinations and enemy waves.

Weapons and upgrades

You can unlock upgrades as you level up, and arm your ship with weapons including twin laser beams, plasma rockets and splats, splitter beams, and crystal shards that ricochet or explode into shrapnel.

Quests and visuals

Space-station quests include finding missing coffee machines, dealing with unstable science and visiting space diners. The game pairs neon visuals with a hand-drawn aesthetic inspired by retro sci-fi cartoons.
