Starhauler
The Starhaulers Guild is watching.
You are a Starhauler, an independent contractor transporting cargo across dangerous space.
Every job comes with a risk: pirates, raiders, shady clients, and the Interstellar Police.
Trust no one.
Controls
Press [W] to engage thrusters, [A] / [D] to rotate left or right.
Press [E] to talk to NPCs.
Press [S] / [D] / [Space] to interact with dialogs.
How to Play
At the start of each level, talk to the NPC ships to see what contracts they have for you.
Deliver the package safely to the recipient by following the navigation marker at the edge of the screen.
Each job comes with a risk. Things may go according to plan, or sideways.
Once done, go back to the HQ to take another quest.
You also have access to the Starhaulers Band which connects all space truckers in the galaxy. It may or may not help with your run.
Tips
- The game has 8 levels in total. Each takes about 1-3 mins to complete.
- Enemies can crash into asteroids.
- Enemies disengage and backoff once you talk to an NPC.
- Pirates steal your cargo via a yellow beam at close range.
- Raiders deal damage to your hull via a red beam at close range.
- Reavers shoot laser bullets.
- Interstellar Police ships apprehend you on contact.
- Bonus points if you can count how many sci-fi easter eggs you can find!
