Set-up

Star-Cat has been flung into space on a mission... But.. Why did they send a fat, blue, grumpy blob into space? TO COLLECT STARS!! HE MUST CAT-LECT EM' ALL!!

(tiny-tip: at first aim for as many stars as possible instead of them all)

Behind The Scenes

This game is heavily inspired by the Famicom Home-Brew of RIKI. During the initial dev period I found their work very interesting and wanted to make something similar... AND NOW HERE WE ARE!!! Star-Cat took the longest to make out of any of my games. And, as naive as it sounds, has cemented to me that this is my life's cause. I thank you all for playing, and look forward to reading your reviews, comments, and or questions!

@Marina Makes Wait is there more than 3 levels? 😅

P#126494 2023-03-02 06:55

@ridgekuhn Oh good, you scared me. Yeah there's 5, but you have to go back to earlier levels and grind for stars to unlock them. The amounts needed should be on the locks on the right, is that the case or did I make a uh-oh? Regaurdless good job getting to level 3 so fast.

@Marina Makes Okay, I see. When I finished level 3, it sent me back to level 1 so I thought that was it, lol! So the total collected for unlocking is the number at the top of the "map", does it only increase if u beat your previous high score for that level? btw, I had to reload the page and I see progress is persisted, nice work on that too!!

@ridgekuhn, yeah, the over-all score takes the all-time best score from each level beaten.

a realllly cute game! i like the sound it makes when you collect stars, very satisfying. i was curious, are the controls suppose to be heavier to fly? it feels a little slow, maybe that's just me, nice game btw!

@VaniaIsAnIdiot yes, early on I found out it felt weird to just move around and collect stars where everything was just as fast... SO I decided for it to be sort of like wind-physics. Slow to move forward. Medium side to side. And fast moving backwards.

That was lots of fun, and very cute!
It took a few retakes, but I was able to beat it (final score 2974).

Thanks for a cool and unique cart!
