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 - July 2025

Welcome to the Development Update of Enfora Star!

Many core features have been updated since the last Development Update!

Players can now upgrade their spaceship with armor pickups and weapon damage boosts, and also build more different types of turrets or upgrade existing ones!

Now the droids can attack from every direction towards the space station, so you can't focus all defenses on one side anymore.

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

End-boss: The most complex enemy so far. The end boss will have multiple different attacks and utilities.
[/*]
New space station visuals: Updated the space station visuals with new particle effects and added more details to the sprites. The station's look will also change due to the damage it has taken.
[/*]
Armor pickup: A new collectible. Players can collect armor pickups to boost the armor grade of the spaceship. More armor means less damage taken from enemies.
[/*]
Weapon damage boost: A new collectible. Players can boost their damage output by collecting weapon damage boost pickups. The boost is permanent but randomly added to one available weapon.
[/*]
Enemies attack sectors: Now enemies can attack from every direction towards the space station, so building your defenses needs to be more organized. Before each wave, the minimap will show the attacking directions of the next wave.
[/*]
New turrets: Space cannons and Wave turrets are now available!
[/*]
Turret upgrade/rebuild: Turrets can be upgraded to level 2 (blue) and also rebuilt to a different type if desired.
[/*]
Repair: Walls and the space station can be repaired during the build phase.
[/*]
Bug fixes: Various issues have been fixed.
