Star Shooter Free online game

What is it?

Star Shooter is a vertical shoot-'em-up where you dodge and destroy endless enemy formations coming down the screen. Your missiles fire automatically, so your finger only has to steer the ship.

Your firepower grows as your score rises, but so do the number and speed of enemies. One hit ends the game, so surviving longer matters more than flashy shooting.

How to play

1. Drag anywhere on the screen and your ship follows
2. Missiles fire automatically! Your firepower grows with your score
3. One collision with an enemy and it's game over

Playing on PC (keyboard · mouse)

On phones you tap the screen; on PC you can also use the mouse and the keys below.

Difficulty and rankings

There's a weekly ranking and an all-time ranking; the weekly one resets every Monday at midnight (Korea time). For details, see the Help.

Good to know on Hanpanmadang

• There are three enemy types: small triangles worth 10 points, squares that weave side to side worth 20, and big, slow hexagons that take 4 hits and are worth 40.
• From 350 points your missiles fire in two streams, and from 900 points in three. With three, the side missiles spread out at an angle.
• On Normal, squares appear from around 10 seconds and hexagons from around 25. On Easy they come later, and on Hard all three types appear from the start.
• You can continue once per game. No ad is required, and your score and time carry on.

Common mistakes

Staying in front of a hexagon too long and crashing into it.

Hexagons are tough but slow. Hit them once or twice, step aside, then hit them again — small enemies pile in meanwhile.

Staying directly under enemies even with triple firepower.

With three streams, the spreading side missiles still hit when you're slightly off to the side. Avoiding the head-on position lowers your risk of collision.

Tips

• Keeping your ship near the bottom center gives you room to dodge either way.
• Drag with your finger a little below the ship rather than right on it, so your finger doesn't hide it.
• Move in short bursts instead of big sweeps. Big, hurried moves often run you into enemies coming down the side.
• When enemies swarm, don't force it — move to an open area first, then attack again.
