Easier: use the SUPPORT screen inside the game. Tap 🛠 SUPPORT at the top right of the title screen, or from the pause screen during a mission. Its EMAIL SUPPORT button opens a message in your own mail app with the version, the build and your screen size already filled in — nothing is sent until you send it.
How do I aim and shoot?
On a phone or tablet there is no FIRE button — holding the right side of the screen is what fires. The left half is a flight pad: put a thumb down anywhere on the left and push the way you want to fly. The right half is an aiming pad: put your other thumb down and push to move the crosshair. It shoots for as long as you hold it.
On a computer, WASD or the arrow keys fly, the mouse aims, and you click (or hold F) to fire.
Fast enemy ships need a lock first: hold the crosshair on one until the computer confirms “Enemy locked,” then fire. Slower targets take almost no time to lock, and every Targeting upgrade you buy shortens it.
Two aiming styles are available, and you can switch at any time on the pause screen: DRAG TO AIM (the default) or AIM BY FLYING, where the crosshair sits on the nose and you point the whole ship.
How do I unlock more weapons, and how do I switch?
One new weapon unlocks each level, through level eight.
To switch on a phone or tablet, tap the WPN ▾ button on the right of the cockpit — it opens a grid of every weapon you have earned, and you tap the one you want. On a computer, press 1 to 8.
The row of weapon icons along the bottom of the dash is a read-out showing what you are carrying and how much ammunition is left. It is not a control — tapping it does nothing.
The Arc Beam stopped firing
That is the overheat system working as designed. The Arc Beam fires continuously and builds heat. Release it before the gauge fills and it cools back down. Hold it too long and it shuts off until it has cooled completely.
I can't buy upgrades at the starbase
Most upgrades are gated behind a kill quota as well as a price. The shop shows how many more enemies and meteors you need to destroy before that upgrade unlocks. You can also only buy one nuke per station visit — but winning any of the four arcade games earns a free one.
What is the Core Split?
It detaches your Control Module from the main hull. Your ship flies faster and banks harder while separated, but you must re-dock before the Phase Engines will charge for a Spacial Phase jump. The ship's computer will suggest the split when conditions favor it.
How do I beat the Wooktalon mothership?
A mothership arrives every third level after the first starbase. When your computer isolates its shield harmonics, start the Harmonic Breach: three shield rings spin at different speeds, each with a gap. Tap (or press SPACE) when the gap crosses the top marker to lock each ring. Lock all three and the shields collapse completely. Three misses or a timeout and the shields hold — you will have to shoot them down instead.
Can I turn off the computer voice?
Yes. Tap the VOICE button on the bottom console rail at any time during play. Sound effects and music are controlled separately with the SND button.
I can hear the ship's computer talking, but no other sound
Check the Ring/Silent switch on the side of your iPhone. That exact combination — the voice works, nothing else does — is what a phone on silent sounds like. iOS mutes game audio when the switch is on but lets spoken voice through, so the computer keeps talking while the weapons, music and explosions go quiet.
No sound at all when I start the game
Apple requires that audio begin only after you touch the screen. Tap once and sound will start. If it still does not, check the Ring/Silent switch, your volume, and that the SND button on the cockpit rail is on.
The game is in portrait and won't rotate
ATTACK SHIPS is landscape only. Turn your device sideways. If it does not rotate, check that Portrait Orientation Lock is off in Control Center.
Are there in-app purchases or ads?
No. You buy the game once and own all of it. There are no advertisements, no currency packs, no energy timers, and no subscriptions. Every weapon, upgrade and level is earned by playing.
Privacy
The game collects no data and never connects to the internet. The SUPPORT screen inside the game is no exception: its EMAIL SUPPORT button hands a message to your own mail app, and you decide whether to send it. Full policy: Privacy Policy.
