Stellar Melee: Starship Duel
1v1 Physics Space Combat
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
v2.0: Daily Duels, the Gauntlet ladder, pilot ranks, and 28 living rivals. Momentum is the weapon.
MOMENTUM IS THE WEAPON.
Stellar Melee is a fast, tactical 1v1 starship duel built on honest physics. Nothing slows you down but your brake. Thrust to build speed, drift through turns, fire across your own vector, then dive into a planet's gravity well and come out faster than your engines could ever push you.
ONE-ON-ONE DUELS, PURE SKILL
No grinding, no waiting, no energy timers. Every match is a quick, intense duel where positioning and timing beat brute force. Chain dodges, bait your rival into the open, and finish with a perfectly timed special.
STEER. THRUST. BRAKE.
New in 2.0: the touch stick is your flight control. Push it toward where you want the nose and the ship swings round at its own rate; push harder to thrust harder; let go to coast. Hold the wide L2 paddle to brake. The Streamlined preset also fires your primary automatically whenever you are locked on and gives the Void Torpedo its own one-tap button — prefer an R2 thrust paddle, a FIRE button and the classic combos? Switch to Full Control in Settings. Physical controllers keep the left-stick steer, R2 thrust and L2 brake layout.
A FLEET WITH REAL IDENTITY
Choose from 28 hand-tuned ships across four rival fleets: the balanced Alliance, aggressive Dominion, exotic Concord, and storm-born Tempest. Every ship is a side-grade with a distinct playstyle, never simply more power, so competition stays fair.
FOUR WAYS TO FIGHT
- Classic: pure physics dogfighting with thrust, drift, brake, recoil, and gravity.
- Stillness: time flows only while you move.
- Gravity: planets bend your ship and your shots.
- Brink: high-stakes combat that rewards living dangerously.
A REASON TO RETURN, EVERY DAY
New in 2.0: the Daily Duel deals the whole world the same seeded matchup each day — fly it, win or lose, and keep your streak alive. The Gauntlet is a sudden-death ladder of ever-harder rivals with a world leaderboard for your deepest run. Climb eight pilot ranks from Ensign to Legend, and earn bronze, silver, and gold mastery with every ship you fly. Your 28 rivals are alive now, too — each hull fights with its own pilot personality: scouts ambush from cloak, snipers hold their range, tanks walk you down, and they use shields, boosts, and Void Torpedoes just like you.
BUILT TO FEEL GREAT
Mass-responsive handling, velocity-led camera work, shield impacts, progressive hull damage, persistent wrecks, reactive music, tuned haptics, and readable effects make every hit land. Supports 60fps and 120fps on ProMotion devices.

THE ULTIMATE VERSION — the whole duel got deeper.
- Daily Duel: one seeded matchup, shared worldwide, every day. Keep the streak alive.
- Gauntlet: a sudden-death ladder of ever-harder pilots, with a world leaderboard.
- Pilot ranks from Ensign to Legend, plus bronze, silver, and gold mastery per ship — earned by flying, never sold.
- Living AI rivals: all 28 hulls fight with distinct pilot personalities and use cloaks, boosts, shields, and Void Torpedoes both ways.
- Weapon identity: prism fans, twin volleys, swarm bursts, and piercing lances make every loadout feel different.
- New touch flight: push the stick where you want the nose, push harder to thrust, let go to coast. Your primary fires itself while you are locked on, and the Void Torpedo gets a one-tap button. Full Control stays in Settings.
- All-new sound: real music and effects, round banners, near-miss grazes, and a low-hull heartbeat. When time bends, even the music slows.
- The real night sky behind every duel, a living nebula that freezes in Stillness, and sharper, relit ships.
- Game Center leaderboards and achievements, the Ship Compendium in 11 languages, and dozens of refinements.
