About starblast.io
Every pilot in starblast.io starts out in a tiny starter ship with a lot of room to grow. Gems gathered during play raise your ship's stats one step at a time, while other players try to blast you and take what you have collected.
Max out a ship and a choice opens up: move to a new hull with a different loadout and stat profile. Choosing a path that fits your style, whether that means heavy firepower or speed, is a big part of the strategy. You can steer with the keyboard or the mouse.
How to play starblast.io
- Arrow keys - fly, Space - fire
- Or hold right click and drag to steer with the mouse
- Left click - fire when using mouse controls
Playing starblast.io on a computer
Two control schemes are offered. Fly with the arrow keys and fire with Space, or hold right click and drag to steer with the mouse while left click shoots. Press Play now and the PLAY screen to launch your starter ship. The mouse setup gives more precise movement once you are used to it, which helps when dodging fire while collecting gems.
Playing starblast.io on a phone or tablet
starblast.io depends on either the arrow keys and Space or a right-click drag with left-click firing, and neither works through a touch screen in this build. Flying, aiming and shooting at other pilots all need keyboard or mouse input, so stick to a computer or Chromebook. For phone play, try the games labeled "Desktop and mobile".
On a phone right now? Try They Are Coming, Coreball and Flappy Dunk - they are built for touch screens.
Tips and tricks
- Gather gems away from crowded areas until your ship is stronger.
- Pick evolutions that match how you like to fight, fast or heavily armed.
- Keep moving so other pilots have a harder time landing shots.
