About The Last Sideran
The Last Sideran is a fast 2D arcade shoot 'em up about survival, high scores, and the last light of a vanished people, with hand-drawn sci-fi visuals and select stylized 3D elements.
You play as Zenia, the last Sideran. Her people are gone, but the machines built to watch and control them still remain: the Spikes, relentless hunters that fill the screen with danger. Gather star essence to stay alive, chase it into risky spaces, and seize weapon power-ups when a run gives you the chance.
Arcade Survival
Every run is built for pressure: dodge, shoot, collect, recover, and push for a higher score. Stages grow increasingly dangerous as hazards, swarming Spikes, and bosses force you to keep moving.
Unlock New Ships
Earn star essence to unlock six ships, each with its own combat style. Take the Navy Interceptor, Desert Raider, Pirate Corsair, Volcanic Warship, Cybernetic Runner, or Celestial Dragon into a run and find the one that fits you. Forward lasers, shotgun bursts, dual cannons, drone support, explosive weapons, and more.
Story Unlocks
Zenia's story unfolds as you reach major milestones, survive key encounters, and defeat bosses. Push farther to uncover the truth about the Siderans, the Spikes, and what remains after the fall.
