Aphelion: Starship Duel
A fast, tactical one-on-one space duel built around a single idea: time only moves when you do. Hold still and the whole battlefield slows to a crawl while you plan your shot. Fire your engines and time surges back to full speed. 28 hand-tuned ships, four rival fleets, gravity slingshots — all on your device, no account required.

Why Aphelion
A space duel that rewards thinking, not twitch
Most arcade shooters punish you for pausing. Aphelion turns that on its head: stillness is your superpower. Every duel is a chess match played at the speed of your own hands.
Time Bends to You
The signature rule: time only moves when your ship does. Cut your engines and the enemy, the bullets, everything slows to a crawl while you plan. Fire them and time surges back. A tactical pause you control with your thumb.
28 Ships, Four Rival Fleets
The balanced Alliance, the aggressive Dominion, the exotic Concord, and the storm-born Tempest. Every ship is a true side-grade — a different playstyle, never just more power — so the leaderboards stay fair.
Three Ways to Fight
Stillness bends time to your movement. Gravity lets you slingshot around planets for deadly speed. Brink is high-stakes combat that rewards living dangerously. One game, three completely different duels.
Slingshot the Planets
Planets pull. Swing tight around one and you whip out the far side faster than your engines could ever push you — and you keep that speed. Learn the slingshot and you'll cross the arena, dodge a shot, and close on a fleeing rival in one arc.
Game Center Leaderboards
Global rankings for total wins and best win streak, plus achievements — First Blood, On a Roll, Fatality, Ship Master, and Untouchable. Climb the boards across every device you play on.
Fair, Friendly Pricing
Play your first three battles free. One simple one-time purchase unlocks the full game and all base ships — no ads, no subscriptions, no consumables, ever. Optional ship and cosmetic packs add more if you want them, but they never sell power.

How a Duel Plays
Pick a ship. Bend time. Win the duel.
Choose your ship & your rival
Pick from 28 hulls across four fleets — a nimble scout, a regenerating bruiser, a cloaking ambusher — then choose the rival you want to face, fighting-game style.
Move to flow, hold to freeze
Time only moves when you do. Read every incoming shot as it hangs in the air, weave through the storm, slingshot off a planet, and strike at the perfect moment.
Take the series, climb the board
Win the best-of series, chain a win streak, and rise up the Game Center leaderboard — then do it again with a completely different ship.
