StarshellOne ship. An endless sky.

A small white ship circles a distant world on its own. One tap reverses it. Meteors fall where you are heading, starlight fades if you leave it behind, and the sky never runs out — so every second asks the same question: keep going, or turn?

How it plays

The decision and the action are the same tap

One tap turns you around

Your ship circles the world on its own. Touch anywhere in the sky and it reverses at once — on the touch, not the release, because a dodge is a matter of moments.

Read the orange

A marker on the outer ring shows where a meteor is about to fall, and meteors fall where you are heading. Keep going, or turn: that is the whole question, asked again and again.

Chase the starlight

Golden diamonds build a streak, and the streak builds your multiplier. Starlight fades if you leave it behind, so a long streak means turning back for it — between the meteors.

Between sectors

Survive a sector, choose what your ship becomes

Each sector ends in a pause and a choice. Repairs are always on offer; the other three upgrades climb a level at a time, and you will not see every one each time, so no two flights grow the same ship.

Then the sky changes colour and the pace picks up. Three hull points, a moment of protection after every hit and a pulse you charge yourself give room to recover — and nothing else does.

What is in it

A small ship, and everything it needs

The pulseFly and catch stars to charge it, then clear every meteor in the sky at once. When to spend it is yours to decide.

Second windWhen a flight ends you may choose to watch an ad and carry on with one hull point. Only if you want to; it is never shown otherwise.

No finish lineSectors never run out. The sky grows busier and faster up to a ceiling, and the four skies cycle for ever.

Pause, save, come backPause at any moment. Save and leave keeps the flight, and leaving the app pauses it for you.

Starshell has its own privacy policy, separate from the other games, because what it does is different: it sells one thing, it ships no crash reporting at all, and its purchase ends the ads between flights but keeps Second wind, the one ad you can choose to watch.
