About Starlight Squad

The Merlian Empire has seized control of the Five Worlds. With the galaxy under threat, hope lies in the hands of the Starlight Squad—a fearless team of heroines ready to fight back.

Starlight Squad is a fast-paced vertical shoot 'em up featuring handcrafted pixel art, epic boss battles, and explosive arcade action. Choose one of three playable pilots—each with a unique ship, playstyle, and special ability—and take the fight across five visually distinct planets.

Power up as you play! Collect resources during missions to upgrade your ship's firepower, fine-tune your rate of fire, and boost your movement speed. Tactically adapt your build mid-mission to face escalating challenges and screen-filling enemy waves.

💥 Key Features:

•
Character-Driven Shmup Combat – Choose from three heroines, each offering a different way to play with unique weapons and special attacks.
•
Dynamic In-Game Upgrades – Improve your ship's shot type, fire rate, and speed on the fly as you battle through increasingly intense stages.
•
Five Planets to Liberate – Fight through vibrant levels with unique hazards, enemy types, and climactic boss encounters.
•
Retro Pixel Art with Modern Flair – A colorful, detailed pixel-art style brings each world and character to life.
•
For Veterans and Newcomers Alike – Balanced difficulty modes ensure both genre fans and curious cadets can join the fight.

Join the Starlight Squad, blast through enemy lines, and reclaim the stars—one pixel at a time.
