Stellar Vanguard

Neon Retro Space Shooter

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Stellar Vanguard is a neon-retro vertical space shooter for iPhone and iPad. Every run is a fresh loadout — pick one of three power-ups between waves, dodge swarms of energy bullets, and chase a higher score on a run that rebuilds your ship from scratch. THE CORE LOOP Fly, dodge, shoot. Six enemy classes — grunts, shooters, tanks, splitters, bombers, and turrets — drop waves at you in escalating patterns. Clear a wave and choose from three random power-ups. Stack them differently every run. THREE BOSSES, THREE FLAVORS A boss rotates in every five waves, each with distinct movement patterns and multi-phase attacks. Survive long enough to face the Leviathan. SKILL-BASED DEFENSE • FOCUS MODE — hold two fingers to shrink your hitbox for precise dodging. • BOMB METER — graze enemy bullets to charge a screen-clearing blast. Three-finger tap to detonate. • GRAZE SCORING — the closer you dodge, the bigger your combo multiplier. PROGRESSION THAT STICKS Every run earns Credits you spend between runs: • Permanent ship upgrades: damage, fire rate, movement speed, health. • Ten unique ship skins, each with its own color palette and thruster style. DAILY CHALLENGE A new seed every day with unique modifiers. One run, one shot — leaderboard resets at midnight. LEADERBOARDS Game Center integration with global leaderboards and achievements to chase. BUILT FOR TOUCH Portrait-optimized for one-handed play on iPhone or two-handed precision on iPad. Sharp neon visuals, a synthwave-inspired soundtrack, and procedurally generated sound effects. FREE TO PLAY, FAIR BY DESIGN No timers. No energy gates. Credits can always be earned by playing. Optional IAP includes Credits packs and a one-time Remove Ads option. PRIVACY FIRST No account required. No personal data collected. Progress stays on your device and your Game Center profile. A run takes 5–15 minutes. A high score is a lifetime. Fly. Dodge. Detonate. Repeat.
