Description
Fast, readable, top-down space combat built for the phone in your pocket. Six ships, six modes, two-minute matches. Solo against bots or online with friends.
Every deployable can be destroyed, every ability has a counter, and every hull is viable. There are no upgrades to grind and no stat boosts to buy. The design rule the whole game is built on is that readable beats flashy: the arena fits on one minimap, every hit points at its shooter, and respawns shimmer so you always know why a shot did not land.
Setting (fiction)
The paragraph below is the game’s fictional premise. Every other statement on this page is a verified fact about the shipped build.
The StarForge Circuit
StarForge Arena is set on the StarForge Circuit, a racing league that runs its events inside the debris field of a collapsed star. Arenas are patches of that field fenced with a containment ring; pilots fly one of six homologated chassis classes, which league rules forbid modifying. It is a sport, not a war, which is why the losing side comes back.
Modes
- Deathmatch (2–8 players): Free-for-all, first to the kill limit.
- Team Deathmatch (4–8 players): Two teams, most kills wins.
- Capture the Flag (4–8 players): Steal their flag, defend yours.
- King of the Hill (4–8 players): Hold the centre zone to score.
- Battle Royale (4–12 players): Shrinking zone, last ship standing.
- StarBall (4–8 players): Shove or shoot the ball into their goal.
Ships
- Interceptor: Afterburner. The one that gets there first.
- Gunship: Deployable Turret. Ground you can actually hold.
- Phantom: Short Cloak. Gone from every screen.
- Bomber: Proximity Mine Cluster. Turn open space into a maze.
- Carrier: Warp Beacon. Drop it, fight, come home.
- Specter: Railgun. One shot, fully meant.
