About Starship
🔵About the game: Buy the coolest skin and drive your starship through space avoiding planets and getting coins and upgrades! You will find magnets and shields. You will need the magnets to attract coins from afar while the shields will make you invulnerable for 10 seconds. You have 3 lives available, when you run out of lives the game will end and you will have to start over but... Every time you lose a life another one will appear but it will be up to you to recover it! 🎮Controls: You can move your ship by clicking and holding using the mouse or the touch-screen! You can pause with the appropriate button or with the SPACE key on the keyboard.
How to play Starship
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
