A little help.
Back to the fun.
Every adventure needs a helping hand sometimes.
Good questions. Helpful answers.
How do I control my fleet?
Drag anywhere on the screen to steer. Your ships fire automatically, so you can focus on dodging hazards and lining up the next upgrade gate.
What is the difference between ships and defence lives?
Colliding with an enemy or obstacle costs a ship. Letting an enemy escape past you costs a defence life. Running out of either ends the mission. When a mission ends, you can watch one optional rewarded video to continue.
How do gates and ship upgrades work?
Fly through a gate between waves to take the upgrade shown on it. Gates can add ships, damage, fire rate, or an airstrike, and Board Ships gates turn rescued astronauts into new ships. Every five gates, your fleet refits into a stronger hull class.
How does the campaign work?
Starvex has 100 missions across 10 galaxies, each with 7 to 10 waves. Clear a mission to unlock the next one, and replay any mission you have already unlocked. New enemy types join the campaign at their own missions.
When do bosses appear?
A Crown Devourer guards every fifth mission. Break its weak points, dodge its charge beam, and shoot down its meteors to clear the mission.
What is Stardust?
Missions pay out Stardust. Spend it in Fleet Upgrades on Weapon Core, Fire Control, Squad Bay, and Defense Matrix. These upgrades are permanent and apply to every mission you fly afterwards.
Where is my progress saved?
Your cleared missions, Stardust, and upgrades are stored on your device. Deleting the game or moving to another device starts a fresh profile; there is no account to restore from.
How do I report a problem?
Email support with your device model, iOS or Android version, game version, and what happened. If a completed rewarded video did not grant a continue, include the time it happened.
