How to Play Elang Angkasa
Drag controls, hitbox, bombs, power-ups, and the six galactic sectors.
Mission
The Dark fleet is invading six galactic sectors. Fly the Eagle through 30 stages, shoot down enemies, and defeat the mothership at the end of every sector.
Controls
| Action | Touchscreen | Mouse | Keyboard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fly | Slide your finger anywhere | Move the cursor | Arrows / W A S D |
| Slow & precise | Slide gently | — | Hold Shift |
| Bomb | Bomb button / quick double tap | Bomb button | Space / X |
| Pause | Pause button | Pause button | P / Esc |
On phones the ship follows your finger’s movement, not its position, so your finger never covers the ship. Drag sensitivity can be adjusted in Settings. In landscape, the info and bomb button move to the left and right sides so the flight area stays clear.
Staying alive
- Only the white dot in the middle of the ship can be hit by bullets. The wings are safe.
- Ramming an enemy also costs a life.
- After a hit the ship blinks and is briefly invulnerable, but weapon power drops by one level.
- A bomb wipes every enemy bullet on screen, damages all enemies, and hurts the boss.
Power-ups
- P raises weapon power up to 5 streams. From power 4 the ship also launches homing missiles.
- S gives a shield that absorbs one hit.
- ♥ restores one life.
- B adds one bomb.
- Coins are spent on Hangar upgrades.
Enemies
- Drone: a saucer that shoots at you.
- Dart: dives straight at your ship.
- Bat: sweeps wide and fires three-shot fans.
- Turret: parks near the top and fires five-shot fans.
- Mine: bursts into a ring of bullets when destroyed.
- Carrier: big and tough, fires bullet rings, and drops power-ups.
Finishing a stage without a single hit gives a 5,000-point bonus and three stars.
Example: move after reading an aimed shot
A small move can be easier to control than crossing the whole screen when an enemy aims at your position. Read the bullet path and use the empty space beside it. Stay away from edges so you can still turn. When many bullets close the route, consider a bomb as a way to create space rather than only extra damage.
When upgrades do not prevent defeat
Upgrades cannot replace reading patterns. Check whether you keep moving into the same corner and run out of escape room. Replay a stage with the goal of retaining two movement options. Once the pattern is familiar, choose a Hangar upgrade that addresses your difficulty: damage for enemies that stay alive too long or durability for more tolerance of mistakes.
