Evaluation

Starship Annihilator launched on September 2, 2016 as a finished, self-contained vertical scrolling shooter with 10 levels and 10 bosses. The developer's launch post explicitly stated "we finished the work on our project." All developer activity occurred within the first week of release — a launch announcement, two feature patches adding Steam achievements and trading cards, and a controller bug fix — after which communication stopped entirely. There are no DLC listings, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no post-launch content updates of any kind. The store description describes a fixed, complete set of features with no language suggesting ongoing additions. The game launched as a complete product and has remained so since September 2016.

About this game

Story

As scientists predicted, the Milky Way collided with the Andromeda galaxy. However, their calculations were incorrect, and the collision occurred much earlier. In the year 3521, during this cataclysm, the solar system was completely ejected from the Milky Way by gravitational forces and sucked into the black hole formed by the collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda.
