About this game

Black Star is a first-person shooter set above a huge industrial complex built on an asteroid. Flying a rebuilt and modified Svelgian Raider craft, your objective is to destroy the Cosmic Guerillas’ base by bombing its energy ducts.

Guide your craft down the valley, adjust your speed, and move the sight left or right to line up bombing runs. A radar beneath the sight shows ships behind you, while the display tracks the countdown timer, bombs, fuel, power, speed, and score. Travelling faster increases fuel and power consumption.
