How to play Star Squadron
- Drag anywhere to slide your fighter left and right — it fires automatically.
- Aliens swoop into formation, then peel off in diving attacks. Dodge their shots and clear every alien to finish the stage.
- Boss aliens can catch your fighter in a tractor beam. Shoot the captor to free it and fly a double-firepower twin ship.
- 20 hand-made stages: new formations, Challenging Stages and a mothership boss every 5th. Stars: clear, lose no fighter, 50%+ hit ratio. Grab capsules for rapid fire, spread and shields.
