01 / The core loop

Simple controls.
Deep decisions.

Space Hunter keeps the input focused so every decision happens in the flight: move through the danger, hold a clean firing line, and turn drops into a stronger ship for the next mission.

Hold and drag anywhere on the screen to move your fighter. Your weapons keep firing automatically while you search for a safe lane, collect rewards, and survive long enough to meet the stage Boss.

Lift your finger and touch again whenever you need to reposition. Releasing and retouching the screen does not change your stage progress.

01

Touch & drag

Control the ship with a single finger. Adjust horizontally or vertically as the formation shifts.

02

Auto fire

Keep your attention on aim and spacing while the ship continuously attacks targets ahead.

03

Read the threat

Watch bullets, lasers, collisions, and enemy paths before they close your escape route.

04

Collect & clear

Gather coins, energy, and power-ups, then finish the wave to claim its mission rewards.

02 / Mission routes

Choose a route.
Push deeper into space.

Normal missions form a sequence of stages on the campaign map. Fight through each set of enemy waves and survive to the end to open the next stage. New routes bring hazards, elite enemies, and a tougher final encounter.

  • Move through regular waves, elite enemies, hazards, mini-Bosses, and the stage Boss.
  • Choose from Easy, Normal, and Hard where available. Later stages increase enemy health, attack strength, speed, and bullet density.
  • Finish a stage to earn coins, supply crates, ship cards, and evolution materials.

Plan the loadout before launch.

Review the stage difficulty and possible rewards, then choose your fighter and battle items. The preparation screen also shows the available ways to enter the mission and any energy cost before you launch.

03 / Read the battlefield

Patterns are the enemy.
Position is your answer.

Enemy types move differently: some rush in, some track your ship, some stop to fill the screen with bullets. Learn the rhythm of each formation and keep one clear lane available.

  • Small fighters and fast rushers approach in groups, including from the sides or behind your ship.
  • Heavy armored enemies, elites, and mini-Bosses need sustained fire while their projectiles close in.
  • Asteroids, obstacles, lasers, and dangerous regions reduce the space available to dodge.

Bullets, lasers, and collisions drain your health. When health reaches zero, the run ends unless you use an available revive.

Survival rule: keep looking beyond the target you are firing at. The safest position for this second can become the most dangerous position in the next wave.

04 / Boss fights

Learn the phase.
Take the opening.

Bosses have larger health pools and attacks that change as the fight moves forward. Keep firing while you study the timing, then commit to every safe opening.

  • Fan and ring volleys
  • Tracking projectiles
  • Continuous laser sweeps
  • Clones and summoned enemies
  • Rush and area attacks
  • Multi-phase patterns
Complete the encounter to finish the stage and claim coins, ship materials, cards, or a supply chest. The separate Boss Fight feature also lets you challenge designated Bosses and collect their rewards.

05 / Endless mode

No finish line.
Only the next wave.

Endless mode removes the fixed stage endpoint. Enemies and Bosses continue to arrive while the pressure rises, so every extra wave becomes a new score opportunity.

Some runs may require a dedicated ticket. Your final result reflects how long you survive, how many enemies and waves you clear, how many Bosses you defeat, and the score you build along the way.

06 / Ship progression

Build a fleet
that fits your style.

Each ship has its own base stats, firing pattern, attack coverage, and growth path. Unlock new frames through stage progress, cards or fragments, supply crates, tasks, events, coins or crystals, and selected bundles. Advanced ships may require a previous frame or a campaign milestone.

Upgrade the frame

Spend coins, crystals, ship cards, and materials to raise attack, health, fire rate, bullet count, special damage, and overall combat power.

Evolve the frame

Meet the level and material requirements to unlock a stronger form with improved stats and a new combat ceiling.

07 / Wing Ship system

Pair the right wingman
with the right mission.

Wing Ships follow the main fighter and add extra firepower or combat effects. Unlock them, combine their cards, upgrade their attack, and evolve them as you build a stronger loadout.

Use the Wing Ship supply route to gather cards and materials, then test combinations against the enemy patterns that give you the most trouble.

08 / Battle items

Save the right tool

✦Bomb

Deal heavy damage across the screen and break up a crowded bullet pattern.

◉Shield

Absorb a limited number of hits or protect the ship for a short window.

↟Firepower

09 / Grow between runs

Every clear feeds
the next launch.

Coins, crystals, cards, keys, and materials connect the moment-to-moment flight to a long-term hangar plan. Daily tasks, supply crates, and rankings give you more reasons to return.

Currency 01Coins

Upgrade ships and Wing Ships, buy common items, open selected crates, and cover some revive costs. Earn coins from stages, tasks, check-ins, events, and supplies.

Currency 02Crystals

Unlock advanced ships, buy ship and Wing Ship cards, accelerate evolution, open premium crates, purchase special bundles, revive, or replenish resources.

Supply routeChests & crates

Ship, Wing Ship, all-resource, and special supplies can contain cards, coins, crystals, battle items, evolution materials, Endless tickets, and other random rewards.

Keep climbingLeaderboards

Compete through highest stage, Endless high score, Boss challenge results, and overall combat performance. Stronger ships, better pairings, and precise movement all help.

Daily tasks. A new reason to launch.

Complete stages, enter Endless mode, challenge Bosses, defeat enemies, use items, upgrade ships, open supplies, and reach target scores to earn extra coins, crystals, cards, and materials. Some tasks and rewards reset with the daily refresh.

Choose your supply route.

Open eligible crates with coins, crystals, regular keys, or special keys. Selected supplies may offer a free opening after a reward ad. Check the in-game chest for its current requirements and reward pool.

10 / Recover and retry

One failed run
does not end the story.

When the ship loses all health, you can end the challenge or use the available revive option. Depending on the in-game screen, revival may consume coins or crystals, use a revive item, be offered after a reward ad, or use an eligible membership benefit. A revive usually returns you near the point of failure. The current cost and number of chances are always shown in the game.
