Starfall Grid

Starfall Grid is a modern retro arcade shooter inspired by the golden age of pixel games, reimagined for both desktop and mobile play.

A hostile formation descends from the upper void in perfect geometric order. It moves as a single, relentless grid—sliding, advancing, and closing in step by step. Your task is simple but unforgiving: hold the line, break the formation, and survive wave after wave before it reaches you.

The game focuses on clarity and precision. Controls are minimal and responsive, allowing players to move horizontally and fire upward with exact timing. On desktop, movement is handled via keyboard input; on mobile devices, intuitive swipe and tap gestures provide the same level of control without compromise.

All visuals are rendered using handcrafted 8×8 pixel sprites drawn directly in code, preserving the authentic look and feel of classic arcade hardware. The clean, centered canvas presentation ensures the game remains visually sharp and readable on any screen size.

As waves progress, formations grow denser and more aggressive. Enemy fire becomes more frequent, movement accelerates, and pressure steadily increases. Success depends not on upgrades or randomness, but on positioning, rhythm, and decision-making under stress.

Starfall Grid is designed to be immediately accessible yet difficult to master—a pure arcade experience where every score reflects skill, focus, and composure.
