How to play Star Barrier

Stop the advancing drone fleet with your lasers. The fleet aims at you, so keep moving and dodge the falling beams. Each fleet you clear brings a faster wave.

A shooter where you hold the line against a drone fleet of 5 columns and 4 rows. Clear the fleet and a faster new wave arrives. You hold the line with 3 lives.

Step by step

  1. Your ship fires on its own. Slide under the drones with the mouse, your finger or the left/right arrow keys.
  2. The fleet slides sideways and drops a little every time it reaches an edge. If it reaches the bottom line, the round ends even if you have lives left.
  3. Most of the fleet’s shots come down your column. Get hit and you lose a life.
  4. Dome (Space or the Dome button) stops falling beams for a short time, then recharges in 6 seconds.
  5. When you clear the fleet, you get 1 life back if you’re missing any, and a new wave begins.

Tips

  • Keep moving. Shots aimed at you land where you were standing; slide aside and they miss.
  • As the fleet shrinks, the rest slide faster and fire more often. Be ready for the last few drones.
  • Drones in the lower rows are worth a few more points. Hits you land while the dome is up earn a little less.
