About Stargunner

Stargunner is a side scrolling shooter set in a distant future. The player pilots a spacecraft that moves continuously to the right, engaging a variety of hostile targets.

Progression involves completing a series of distinct missions, with a shop available between them to upgrade the ship using currency earned during play. The game offers players a choice of three difficulty levels, allowing for a fair adjustment to the challenge. Major adversaries include specialized bosses encountered at the conclusion of stages.

Its visual presentation utilizes pre rendered 3D assets to achieve a two dimensional effect. The gameplay shares several common mechanics with the earlier title Raptor: Call of the Shadows.
