Starline Drift

Starline Drift is an English-language, single-player timing arcade game about weaving energy threads through a moving star map. The player controls a bright probe that orbits a central core and fires a thread when it crosses a glowing gate.

Core Gameplay
Tap at the right moment to connect the probe with the active gate. Clean and perfect hits build combo, restore energy, and earn stardust. Missing the gate breaks the combo and drains energy.

Lane System
The orbit has inner, middle, and outer lanes. Gates can shift between lanes during a run, so the player must change lanes while still reading timing windows.

Gate Types
Normal gates are stable timing targets. Prism gates reward accurate taps with extra score and stardust. Surge gates move the pace higher and give stronger rewards. Rift hazards are red danger arcs that punish poor timing.

Modes
Voyage is the main mission mode with rising difficulty. Surge is faster and more rewarding. Zen is slower and designed for practice.

Progression
Players can unlock twelve constellation levels, review a route brief before starting, complete rotating missions, finish one-time pilot contracts, claim daily rewards, reveal codex entries, track long-term statistics, unlock achievements, and spend stardust on workshop upgrades.

Route Brief And Contracts
The Route Brief screen summarizes the selected constellation, current mission, route pressure, upgrade advice, and available rewards before a Voyage run. The Contracts screen gives players longer skill goals with claimable stardust rewards, adding replay value beyond a single arcade session.
