One finger. Ninety-nine stages. No mercy. Drag anywhere on the screen and your ship follows. It fires on its own. The hard part is staying alive. CUTE ON THE OUTSIDE The enemies are not an evil army. They simply want the same stardust you are collecting: a grumpy fist, a barrel sprite, a moth chasing the light. Twenty species, each with its own way of coming after you. 99 STAGES, 11 BOSSES A stage runs about 60 to 75 seconds, so losing costs you almost nothing and you are straight back in. Difficulty climbs one step every five stages, and every ninth stage hides a boss. All eleven move differently and attack differently, and the way a boss looks tells you what it is about to do, so you always know why you died. YOU GET STRONGER BY PLAYING Spend collected stardust on eight permanent upgrades, and grab twelve kinds of power-ups mid-stage. One upgrade is the SUPPORT UNIT: up to three wingmen tuck in behind you and fire alongside. Stardust also buys CUSTOMIZE, four ship colours and four scarf colours. It does not affect strength. When the gauge fills, double-tap for Stardust Burst: a pillar of light that erases bullets and grinds down whatever stands inside it. HOSHIMARU, YOUR PARTNER A small craft shaped after a rabbit. The long ears are stabilizer fins, the eyes are a visor, and the red scarf never stops flying. WHAT WE PROMISE No gacha. No stamina. No login bonuses. No waiting timers. We never sell stardust: power is earned by playing. If ads bother you, a single one-time purchase removes them for good. Hand-drawn pixel art and hand-made sound effects. iPhone only, portrait, one hand. Headphones recommended.
