Starbase Destroyer

Explore outer space and destroy enemy starbases. Your target should be base core which is essential part of each starbase and it cannot survive without it.

Trigger chains of explosions of damaged starbase parts.

Dance with the rockets following you.

First 5 levels are an introduction to different game features.

There are 3 different levels of difficulty:

  • asteroids
  • asteroids + monsters
  • asteroids + monsters + rockets

For BONUS points make homing missles or monsters crash on asteroids waves. 

Auto-generated levels

Starbase generator supports 3 different algorithms with different outcome characteristics.

Up to 4 starbases are placed on each level. Some of them are predefined, others are random and unique.

On higher levels more complex starbases are available, built with more parts.

Starbase editor

This version contains Starbase Editor which allows to extend game by designing own starbases which you can destroy later in game.

Starbases created and saved in editor may occur randomly during normal gameplay.

Have fun!

Start with first levels to get to know all game features.

Then decide which difficulty do you prefer.

For bigger challenge select much higher level and draw a level with lower number, but more complex starbases.

You can also generate an interesting and more challenging starbase in starbase editor or design one yourself.

Very nice reimplementation of xkobo by Akira Higuchi, or Kobo Deluxe more recently. Shooting and movement feels slow though, and too few enemies to make it really challenging.

That was my inspiration! I designed just a few levels as tutorial. For some more challenge you can try to generate more complex level with bigger starbases.

Really nice game.  I liked it a lot.  Need to play it on hard at level 15+ for to be any kind of challenge thou.

That’s why I allowed players to set preferred starting level above highest passed level so that you can move forward to starbase size which give you more fun and challenge. :) I just suggest to play first 5 manually crafted levels at first to be introduced with all game features.

If you ever want to team up and do an enhanced version of this game, let me know (I'm an artist).
