Drag a tiny neon starfighter through telegraphed bullet swarms, graze shots, collect shields, and upgrade each wave.

About this tile

Starling Swarm is a neon micro-space bullet hell built for the Poe mobile iframe. Drag a tiny starfighter through patterned enemy constellations, grazing telegraphed shots for combo score while catching cyan shield shards to survive the next wave.

The ship deliberately flies above your finger so the core hitbox stays readable on phones. Each wave adds denser danmaku fans and then pauses for a three-card upgrade choice: widen the graze halo, magnetize shield shards, or reinforce the phase shield. Runs are quick, tactile, and replayable from the first second.

Progress is stored in synced-store as an eager run snapshot: seed, wave, elapsed time, player target/position, score, combo, shields, active bullets, shards, enemies, choices, and terminal state. Closing and reopening the Poe app resumes the same swarm run instead of starting over.
