About This Game

ALL THE STARS
A retro-inspired space shooter forged with grit, speed, and soul.

Aspect Ratio Notice
This game is locked to a vertical, "phone-like" display to stay true to its arcade roots.
If playing Remote Play Co-op, both players must have controllers connected before starting.

The Story
You are a retired Air Force veteran, a legend in your own right. But war doesn’t care for peace, and when humanity’s fate descends upon them, their final hope depends on a single highly decorated pilot, their loyal companion, and their faithful squad.

The enemy is beyond anything Earth has ever faced. Their technology surpasses ours in every way. Conventional warfare is suicide. But we have developed highly advanced ships capable of integrating alien technology on the fly, and with them, one last weapon—something no alien defense could possibly withstand. And we've got the crew capable of delivering it. A weapon so powerful that its very existence was a secret.

A one hundred gigaton bomb.
A collapsing star, trapped in an armored shell.
The supernova-in-a-can.

Your mission is simple: fight through alien forces, reach their homeworld, and deliver the payload. But getting there? That’s another story. Alien horrors lurk in the dark. Their fleets are endless. The whispers of the void claw at your mind. And in the end, the final decision will be yours alone.

Why You Should Play
All the Stars is a passion project from a first-time indie developer, built with dedication and born from a dream. Inspired by childhood memories of playing Galaga with his late father—and a bit of encouragement from others—Zach poured everything into this game, refining it through countless bug fixes and player-driven improvements to create a true arcade experience with heart.

Will you conquer the stars? Or be lost among them?

I want to hear what you think. Please consider leaving a review—good or bad. I believe every opinion matters, and it helps All the Stars reach more players like you. Your feedback means more to me than can be described, and I thank you.

From the bottom of my heart,
...More than all the stars.
