Star Drone is a high-speed action game with a mix of arcade action, pinball, breakout, physics and collect-the-objects all in one. You pilot an always-in-motion spaceship through diverse cosmic environments in order to beat each of the game's 60 level goals. Goals can range from getting to the end of the level, destroying all enemies or collecting certain items. Each level starts by aiming and shooting yourself into outer space from a cannon. Your spaceship is always in motion from this point on, and it's your job to attach to nearby gravity beacons to navigate your flight path. While tethered to a beacon, you can swing and attempt to circle the beacon until you release and slingshot yourself further. This core mechanic allowed to bring together elements of shoot'em up, pinball, collecting objects and exploration in one game that has no counterpart anywhere in the world.
