Skip it if you…

Our take on Starship Scramble
Instead of stopping at wave combat, the game adds colony construction and research to the usual action loop. Ship assembly is also central: weapons, crew, shields, and modules shape the battle approach, while destructible terrain turns parts of the battlefield into obstacles, cover, or resource sources.
What is Starship Scramble?
Starship Scramble is a single-player, side-scrolling ship-building game built around battles against waves of enemies.
Players assemble a flagship from more than 100 weapons, shields, modules, and crew members, then modify weapons with over 40 upgrade options. Combat includes 50 enemy types, elite units, high-threat foes, and catastrophic-level opponents across six challenge levels. Asteroids and ore fields can obstruct attacks, be destroyed for resources, or serve as cover. Rescued survivors and collected materials support a colony with houses, farms, and workshops. Colony development also opens research, weapons, modules, and power-ups. The game includes more than 20 core ships with different play styles and destructible terrain.
