StarGather

About

StarGather is a top-down shooter where you command two ships at once. One ship handles movement while the other fires, requiring quick switches to dodge debris and blast enemies. The action unfolds across 25 levels filled with waves of alien craft and hazards. Players collect power-ups to upgrade shields and weapons while fending off increasingly aggressive attacks. The split-screen design keeps both ships visible but demands constant attention to avoid collisions or being overwhelmed. The game’s dual-control mechanic sets it apart from typical shooters. Though released in 2018, its straightforward yet challenging gameplay has earned a steady following on PC. Leaderboards track high scores for each level, and the pixel-art style adds a retro charm. While not graphically flashy, its focus on reflexes and timing makes it a satisfying pick for short bursts of competitive play.
