All The Stars

ALL THE STARS
A retro-inspired space shooter forged with grit, speed, and soul.

The Story
You are a retired Air Force veteran, a legend in your own right. But war doesn’t care for peace, and when humanity’s fate descends upon them, their final hope depends on a single highly decorated pilot, their loyal companion, and their faithful squad.

The enemy is beyond anything Earth has ever faced. Their technology is advanced, and their fleet vastly outnumbers ours. Conventional warfare is suicide. But we have developed highly advanced ships capable of integrating technology on the fly, and with them, one last weapon—something no alien defense could possibly withstand. And we've got the crew capable of delivering it. A weapon so powerful that its very existence was a secret.

A one hundred gigaton bomb.
A collapsing star, trapped in an armored shell.
The supernova-in-a-can.

Your mission is simple: fight through alien forces, reach their homeworld, and deliver the payload. But getting there? That’s another story. Alien horrors lurk in the dark. Their fleets are endless. The whispers of the void claw at your mind. And in the end, the final decision will be yours alone.

Why You Should Play
All the Stars is a passion project from a first-time indie developer, built with dedication and born from a dream. Inspired by childhood memories of playing Galaga with his late father—and a bit of encouragement from others—Zach poured everything into this game, refining it through countless bug fixes and player-driven improvements to create a true arcade experience with heart.
