Features & Capabilities

Update: Has now featured in "Best New Games" and "What We're Playing" in the app store!

One man's junk is another man's galactic battleship...

In this addictive arcade-style twin stick space shooter, you (a disgruntled waste collector) salvage the debris from each round of your destructive rampage to piece by piece transform your humble space-garbage-truck into a starship worthy of your cause.

Build increasingly better ships to unleash powerful weapons and gadgetry -- lasers, giant ball-and-chains, anti-gravity orbs, heat seeking missiles, magnets, freeze rays and more -- against endless waves of enemies and huge, modular bosses.

You'll never survive. But if you're going down, you're taking as many of them with you as you can. See how long you can continue the anarchy!


4.5/5 -- TouchArcade.com #1 Paid App (Dec 11th, 2013) "...you'll find this game incredibly rewarding. There's a bit of an art to playing this game well, and that's something that doesn't come along terribly often"

Editor's Choice, TouchGen.net "...an incredibly fun hectic romp in space where you smash, shoot and laser anything that moves ... a game well worth sinking your time and money into"

4/5 -- 148apps.com "Starborn Anarkist is the perfect example of classic arcade game goodness, with a sprinkling of zany madness."

9/10 -- Gamereactor.dk "When I first turned on the game, it ate up four hours of my evening. Starborn Anarkist is simply a small mobile-pearl." [translated]

I like the game a lot, and find the gameplay to be very fun and creative, and don’t really have any negative judgements about the game except for the challenge needed to unlock the rotten core ship, as it is nearly impossible to go through 3 rounds in a row with no pickups. In my dozens of attempts, I have only gotten a bit farther than the second boss before accidentally getting something. I think the challenge would be much better if it was only one round, but besides that one annoyance, I think this game is amazing.

I have played Anarkist on and off for a few years now and have completed every achievement and unlocked every single ship part in the game. I just wish it would be updated and advertised once in a while. There are so few creative space ship building games on iOS that are free. The reason I still play it today, even after having finished all the content, is that it is a pice of art and not just a product designed to addict new players into buying in-game content. It has its flaws, but everything can be unlocked through some effort and all the important stuff works. The only reason it has so few reviews is that the name of the game is obscure and it won’t make the Apple a ton of money because IT HAS NO ADS. I know it is a small game but it deserves more and it would have a lot more reviews if it was fairly advertised by the App Store.

I've been coming back to play this game repeatedly! I'm sure you've seen many positive reviews. It's definitely worth it!
