About Felinauts: Starbase Defence
Command astronaut-cat operators across 90 battlefields in nine illustrated sectors. Build eight distinct defences, choose two exclusive branches per role and invest in two upper evolutions for each branch. Clear short Campaign flights, continue them into 20-wave Long voyages with your fleet intact, or take three linked-map Expeditions with shared hull, reserves and choices between legs. Tactical, Specialist, contracts and Endless offer separate records. Read incoming threats and combine control, splash, armour penetration and support. Progress, checkpoints and records save locally; no account is required.
Felinauts: Starbase Defence is a free idle & strategy game you can play in your browser on Arcadily, on desktop or mobile, with no download needed.
How to play
Choose Play, then Launch. Flight setup selects Campaign, Long voyage, Expeditions or other modes; Maps browses sectors and routes. The desktop side shop offers eight roles; Build opens the paginated shop on smaller screens. Pick a role, choose Place, tap clear ground and Confirm, or Cancel. Wave opens scouting and Start launches the formation. Select a placed tower for Power/Range upgrades; Actions offers priorities, branch equipment, upper evolutions and selling. Upper evolutions need three then four base upgrades and their own credits. After a Campaign win, Options can continue a Long voyage with the fleet, hull and credits retained. Expeditions span three nine-wave maps: hull and reserves persist, 75% fleet investment returns for rebuilding, and each stop offers repairs or supply credits. Continue also resumes a saved stop between maps. Mortar has a dashed inner blind spot. Lookout pads add 30 range; shuttles carry one defence. B opens Build, arrows move the cursor, Enter confirms, T cycles towers, 1–8 choose roles, Space opens Wave, and Escape pauses or returns.
