Risk vs. Reward: Every Purchase Costs Points

Take control of your spacecraft in this innovative top-down shooter where every strategic decision impacts your final score. Defend Enfora Star space station against droid swarms, but here's the twist: every turret, wall, and allied drone you purchase reduces your high score. Do you play it safe with heavy defenses, or risk everything for maximum points?

Classic Arcade-Style Space Combat

Pilot your starfighter around the besieged station in intense retro-style action. Weave through enemy formations with precision timing, evading incoming fire while striking back from every direction.

Strategic Defense Systems

Transform the battleground by constructing tactical defenses. Deploy walls to create choke points, install automated turrets for additional firepower, and recruit allied drones to fight alongside you. Collect power-ups and weapon upgrades to enhance your arsenal as you design a defensive network that complements your combat style. But remember - every credit spent is a point lost. The ultimate challenge isn't just surviving the waves, but mastering the risk-reward balance.

The Ultimate Arcade Dilemma

How much are you willing to sacrifice for victory? This isn't just about lasting longest - it's about achieving the perfect balance between aggressive piloting, strategic spending, and score optimization. Will you emerge as a cautious survivor or a legendary point-chaser?

Development Update - June 2025

Welcome to the Development Update of Enfora Star!

Enemy droid forces are expanding even further. The new yellow droid will dash your ship to pieces, while the blue droid's EMP will slow you down if you try to escape.
And even if you manage to escape or fight back, can you hunt down the invisible threat called Banshee, or are you just its next prey?

The following features are implemented or are currently under development for the Beta version:

New enemy: Advanced yellow droid that will dash toward the player when nearby.
New enemy: Advanced blue droid that shoots EMP projectiles, which will slow down the player if hit.
New enemy: Special enemy called Banshee that can use invisibility and improved EMP projectiles which disable multiple player utility systems like dash. Also shoots shards at close range.
Special waves: Special wave events to add more variety to the gameplay.
Steam Achievements: Enfora Star is now implemented to work properly with Steam SDK. Multiple achievements are already implemented, but there are still more to come.
Updated visuals: Some power-ups got updated visual effects.
Updated statistics: More detailed statistics can now be found on the high score page. Such as how many droids the player or turrets have destroyed, or how many power-ups the player has used. Some of these stats are sent to Steam too to keep tracking achievement progress.
Bug fixes: Various issues have been fixed.
