“A fun, simple premise that takes the nostalgic, single-screen shooting gameplay we love and pretties it up a bit, along with an unlocking meta game. Good times!”

About This Game



Starfighter Neon is a small, fun, re-playable arcade style space shooter where the goal is to beat your best scores (and your friends), unlocking extra ships as you go.

  • It doesn't have an epic settings, huge boss battles or an emotional story line.
  • It does have bite size sessions of laser blasting, alien dodging, space ship action!



You've been dropped into enemy space. Weave your Starfighter between alien spaceships, lasers, asteroids and bombs destroying as many as you can and collecting valuable coins and powerups as you go.

  • If you fly off one side of the screen, you appear back on the other side, use this to escape enemies and surprise others!
  • You have 3 lives each game.
  • Collecting pickups will boost your weapons for a short while.
  • There are Green, Blue and Yellow weapons to collect, alongside the default blaster, each available as 'normal' or 'gold' strength. The Yellow weapons are unique to each Starfighter.
  • Collect coins to unlock extra Starfighters in the Ship Shop that all fly in different ways, and each have a unique powerup.
  • Collect the SmartBomb pickup to wipe out the entire screen of enemies!
  • Try Jump-in Mode - no gradual build up, drops your straight into the action.



Easy to play, just point and fire, this isn't a twin stick shooter. Keyboard and Gamepads both supported.
With the v1.4 update - there's now also a 'turn and go' control scheme, why not give it a go?
With the v1.1 update - there is actually a twin stick shooter mode, if that's your thing - but you can totally stick to playing the simpler original game if you prefer.

  • Infinite game play, it only stops when you lose all your lives.
  • Steam achievements and leaderboard.
  • Steam cloud support.
  • WASD / Cursors to Move.
  • Space / Enter to Fire.
