CLUSTER GAME-WHERE-PILOT · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2021-07-22

Retro spaceship shoot 'em ups

A cluster of five shoot 'em up games centered on piloting spaceships, auto-shooting, upgrading weapons, and surviving waves of enemies, with some offering missions and roguelike progression. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only four dated entries exist before the index start, and one member has no source date. Traction is led by neon-vanguard with 2 stars, while Astro Loop and AstroMenace have 0 stars.

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

JUL 2021: 1FEB 2025: 1JUN 2026: 1JUL 2026: 1AUG 2026: 1
JUL 2021AUG 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
