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
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Drive and steer |
| Spacebar | Brake |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Starship does not — it is playable from the first second. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
