Stargunner is a side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a heavily armed ship through enemy territory. You're part of an elite strike force sent to preemptively destroy three enemy strongholds before their war fleet launches. Each mission drops you into hostile zones filled with turrets, drones, and larger craft. You'll collect power-ups to upgrade weapons—spread shots, lasers, homing missiles—and gather currency for between-mission loadout tweaks. Levels scroll horizontally with occasional vertical sections, throwing waves of enemies and environmental hazards your way. The campaign spans multiple planets, each stronghold ending in a boss encounter. Expect pattern memorization and tight maneuvering. It's built for players who like reflex-driven shooting with steady gear progression.
