Short description
Starbuster is a fast 1v1 zero-G arena where you mine gems, weaponize drifting debris, and sabotage your opponent with lasers, forcefields, and explosives. Procedural arenas and physics-driven chaos make every 3–7 minute match a ruthless fight to score first.
About this game
FEVER TILT A ruthless sport of exploitation & sabotage in zero-G. HOW IT PLAYS Two players face off in a zero-gravity arena filled with frozen blocks. Each player pilots a ship using a gamepad, aiming and thrusting through the arena. Your goal: mine gems from inside blocks and push them into your goal to score. First to 5 goals wins. Matches last 3–7 minutes depending on how aggressive you play. CORE MECHANICS Laser — Your primary tool. Hold to fire a cluster of 5 laser beams that apply heat to whatever they hit. Blocks thaw and activate after 0.3 seconds of heat, then shatter into halves at 0.5 seconds. Halves break into quarters, and quarters vaporize — each stage releasing any gem hidden inside. Your laser holds 3 seconds of charge and recharges slowly when not in use, so you must manage your energy carefully. Forcefield — A tractor beam that pulls nearby objects toward your ship. Use it to drag gems toward your goal, reposition blocks as barriers, or steal objects your opponent is trying to control. It costs less energy than the laser, making it your go-to for maneuvering. Projectile Explosives — Collectible missiles that spawn periodically on the board. Launch them to create massive explosions that scatter blocks, shatter fragments, and disable your opponent's ship. You can carry up to 2 at a time, and they accelerate after launch. Heat & Disabling — Lasers and explosions apply heat to ships too. When your ship overheats (10 seconds of accumulated heat), you're disabled for 3 seconds — unable to move, shoot, or use items. As heat builds, your ship slows down, creating an escalating vulnerability. This is the sabotage: sustained laser fire on your opponent disables them, giving you a window to score. THE ARENA Each match generates a unique board layout using procedural generation. ~100 frozen blocks are arranged in organic clusters across an arena, with clear zones around each player's spawn point and goal. Blocks contain gems and pickups — laser them to break them open, then use your forcefield to guide the gem into your goal. Block fragments drift in zero-G, attract each other into loose clumps, and can be weaponized with explosions. SCORING &…
