Before the Stars

Before the Stars is an action-packed, 2D space shooter that plunges you into the heart of an endless cosmic battle. Pilot your ship through waves of relentless enemies, collect powerful upgrades, and push your skills to the limit as you fight for survival. With every wave, the challenge intensifies, testing your reflexes and strategy in the vast, mysterious expanse of space.

As you progress, you’ll earn credits that can be used to purchase new ships and customize them with a variety of modules. Outfit your ship with enhanced shields, overcharged thrusters, or devastating laser weapons to suit your playstyle. Each ship offers unique strengths and abilities, allowing for diverse strategies and gameplay experiences.

In addition to the core gameplay, the full game will feature the Enter the Abyss mode (not playable in the demo), where you embark on an epic journey through the darkest regions of space. Navigate through different star systems, face challenging encounters, and make critical choices that will shape your journey into the unknown.

Unlock powerful perks as you advance, giving you the edge you need to survive the toughest battles. Whether it’s enhancing your firepower, boosting your defenses, or gaining unique abilities, these perks will play a crucial role in your survival.

Whether you’re looking to survive as long as possible in our Infinite Waves mode or embark on an epic journey into the unknown, Before the Stars offers fast-paced gameplay, stunning pixel art, and a universe full of dangers and rewards.

Before the Stars is currently in development, a demo will be released on this page when it is ready.
