What players say

Players call Stargunner a solid 90s side-scrolling shooter that holds up as a nostalgia trip. They highlight the credit-based power-up shop and the need to set 8-directional controller support. Difficulty spikes sharply, and some find the levels repetitive, while a few report control conflicts with the OS.
