What players say

Another shooter for your family. Not very innovative and a bit boring to play. Music reminds of getting to the toilet rather quickly.

2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Chaotic game with random bullet hell, unpredictable enemy layouts, poor visibility and power-ups
Dimitri PeregrineNot recommendedafter 1.7hMar 2025Read on Steam
Project Starship is a little arcade shooter that has it's moments. Simple, fast, and can be fun in short bursts, but there's really not much more to it than that. Don't go in expecting anything amazing but it's still worth it if you want some cheap and easy fun.
