Getting started
Where can I download Starlight Ascendant?
The iPhone game is coming to the App Store. The download link will appear on the home page at launch. You can play the original browser game now through the link at the bottom of this page.
Which devices does the game support?
The iPhone game requires iOS 18 or later. It uses a portrait layout and touch controls.
How do I play?
Touch and drag to fly your ship. Your weapons fire automatically when an enemy is in range. Collect credits, choose upgrades, and buy gear between waves. Survive twenty waves to complete a run.
How do I unlock ships?
Start with the Vanguard. Wins on higher Ascension levels unlock more ships. Win with all seven other ships to unlock the Prototype. The hangar shows each ship’s requirement.
Runs, progress, and sound
Can I continue a run later?
The game saves checkpoints. If a saved run is available, select Continue on the title screen. When you leave during combat, you may return to the start of that wave.
Where can I see past runs and unlocks?
Open Records in the game. It shows your run history and unlocks.
What should I do if my progress is missing?
Keep the app installed and contact support. Include your device model, game version, and what happened before the problem. Do not delete the app while we look into the issue.
How do I change the volume?
Open the game settings to adjust the volume controls. If you cannot hear the game, also check your device volume and audio output.
Supporter Pack
Does the Supporter Pack make my ship stronger?
No. The optional pack adds a supporter badge to the build cards you share. It gives no gameplay advantage and has no subscription.
How do I restore my Supporter Pack?
Open the Supporter Pack screen and select Restore Purchase. Use the Apple Account that made the purchase and connect to the internet. If the pack still does not appear, email support.
