About this game

Drift into the swarm. StarDrifter is a one-thumb space shooter roguelite — pure dodge-and-survive arcade action. Drag your thumb to fly; your weapons auto-fire at the nearest enemy. Your only job is to position, dodge, and outlast the horde.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Drag anywhere to steer — fully playable with one thumb
• Weapons fire automatically; you focus on dodging
• Kill enemies, grab XP, level up, and choose 1 of 3 upgrade cards each level
• Survive 12 minutes and destroy the final boss to win the run

BUILD A NEW SHIP EVERY RUN
• 10 weapons — blasters, homing missiles, chain lightning, railguns, cryo fields, orbitals and more
• Evolve maxed weapons into devastating ultimate forms
• Stack global upgrades: crit, damage, area, fire rate, regen, magnet and more

CALL DOWN THE HEAVY ORDNANCE
• Helldivers-style stratagems, charged by your kills
• Unleash orbital strikes, napalm, auto-turrets, shield domes, railcannons and cluster barrages when the swarm gets out of hand

MASTER FIVE SHIPS
• From the balanced Vanguard to the glass-cannon Interceptor, the tanky Juggernaut, the heavy-hitting Gunner, and the stratagem-charging Striker — each ship changes how a run feels

GROW STRONGER FOREVER
• Earn Cores every run and spend them in the Workshop on permanent upgrades
• Unlock new weapons, ships and stratagems as you play
• Climb difficulty tiers for a tougher fight and bigger rewards

DARE THE CURSES
• Opt into brutal run modifiers — thicker swarms, tougher foes, more elites — for a bigger payout

FEATURES
• Fast, screen-filling bullet-heaven combat
• Clean, minimalist visuals that run smooth on almost any phone
• Bosses, elite enemies, heavies, gravity wells and supply pods to fight around
• Quick runs — perfect for "just one more go"
• Play offline, anywhere
• Free to play

Dodge the swarm. Evolve your arsenal. Call in the strikes. How long can you survive?

What’s new

NEW
• Layout editor — drag the HUD, steering pad and stratagem buttons anywhere, resize or hide them
• Fixed steering pad at the bottom of the screen
• Animated weapon previews in the Codex, base and evolved
• Arrow pointing to off-screen supply pods

BALANCE
• Bulwark fires blocked shots back at the enemy
• Aegis deflects by chance, not always
• Shield and Repair cost far more charge
• Stratagem kills barely recharge stratagems
• Cores, upgrades and unlocks rebalanced
