Twin-Stick Defense Campaign
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Defend your energy cores across all levels. One purchase unlocks the full campaign, Daily Challenges, and Endless Mode—no ads or subscriptions.
The Space Bandits are coming for your energy cores. Take command of your ship, hold the line, and stop wave after wave of pirates from escaping with your cargo.
Space Bandits is a fast-paced arcade defense game built around responsive twin-stick action. Move with the left control, aim and fire with the right, and adapt as new enemies, hazards, and challenges enter the battle.
DEFEND YOUR CORES
Enemy ships will attack, distract, and attempt to tow your energy cores away. Destroy the bandits before they escape, recover stolen cores, and keep your defenses intact.
MASTER THE CAMPAIGN
Battle through 24 handcrafted levels featuring increasingly dangerous combinations of pirates, attackers, bosses, hulks, missiles, mines, and fast-moving enemy ships.
BUILD YOUR SCORE
Destroy enemies, protect every core, and complete perfect defenses to increase your score multiplier. Collect combat power-ups, chase personal records, and compete through Game Center.
