Play STARFIGHT
You fly. The guns handle themselves.
Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.
Play free nowSTARFIGHT belongs on any list of modern games like Galaga, and you play it in the Roam app on iPhone. Your voxel starfighter fires on its own, so your thumb only steers. Weave through asteroids and red enemy ships high above a low-poly Earth, clear each wave and fire off drones, missiles or a repair when things get close. Missions are split into orbits and waves, so you always know how far you are.
How to fly a mission
- Drag to fly. Your ship shoots by itself.
- Dodge enemy ships, their fire and drifting asteroids.
- Tap the drone, missile or repair button when you need help.
- Clear every wave in each orbit to finish the mission.
What you get
- Voxel ships and asteroids over a low-poly planet
- Missions split into orbits and waves, like Earth Orbit 1/3
- Drone, missile and repair abilities
- Coins, gems and lives to track your run
How it stacks up against other games like Galaga
The setup is the same one arcade fans know: your ship near the bottom, waves of enemies coming at you, and a screen that gets busier as you go. What changes is the work your thumb does. Galaga makes you tap to shoot. STARFIGHT handles the shooting, so all your focus goes into movement.
That suits a phone well. One finger steers, and the ability buttons give you a way out of tight spots. Drones help clear the screen, missiles hit hard, and repair buys you time. The voxel look and the planet below give it its own style, closer to a modern shoot em up than a retro copy.
Tips for the first orbit
Stay low and move side to side rather than charging up the screen. Save repair for when your HP bar is really low. Use missiles on clusters of ships, not on single stragglers.
Who should try it
Arcade fans who grew up on Galaga or Space Invaders, and anyone who wants a quick shoot em up on the phone without fiddly controls. Because the ship fires on its own, it is also easy to hand to a younger player. A mission is short enough to finish in one sitting.
