Arcade pilot shooter

Starblight

Burn the infection out of the sky before it falls into the war.

Starblight is Scourge contamination loose in orbit — spores, infected wreckage, living carrier-ships, and breach matter spreading through the void. The current playable prototype foregrounds a lone Warden interceptor; the design target expands that into Pyre and Warden pilot identities intercepting the rot before it touches the ground war below.

A board-hygiene case study: lock the genre, cut MOBA drift, finish the run loop.

Core loop

What the build delivers.

Clean, readable carnage

Top-down mouse-flight survivors on the shared run loop: launch, survive escalating swarms, stack weapon synergies, and kill the orbital boss.

Two pilot creeds

Current build proves the Warden-front prototype first; Pyre burn pilots and Warden defense pilots are the target roster.

Parasite conquest in space

Toxic-green breach organs, chitin over rusted hulls, living spore mines, and carrier-bosses grown around breach hearts.
