Starboi

An arcade score-chaser about one perfect launch: the aim swings on its own, so timing is the aiming, and the field between you and your friend is full of drifting black holes.

Starboi is an arcade score-chaser built on one verb: the launch. The reticle sweeps back and forth by itself, so timing is the aiming. Fling yourself across a field of drifting black holes to reach a trapped friend, graze the holes on purpose for points, and chain rescues up to SUPERNOVA.

Starboi is an arcade score-chaser built on one core verb: the launch. The reticle sweeps back and forth on its own, so timing IS the aiming. Slide along your wall, wait for the arc, and fling yourself across a field of drifting black holes to reach a friend trapped in dark energy. Every rescue swaps you to the far wall and reshuffles the field.

The safe line is not the best line. Grazing a black hole pays, and skimming two in a single flight pays more. Chain rescues and you climb the combo ranks, warm streak to hot streak to blazing to SUPERNOVA, with the rank multiplying everything you earn. Shoot a hole and it grows wider but slower; charge one all the way and it collapses in a shockwave.

Not every friend behaves. Some drift, some fade fast enough to be a timer rather than a target, and some are armored, so you crack the bubble before you can reach them. Every tenth wave a cosmic horror opens its maw on a rhythm: shoot the opening, or commit and launch straight down its throat. New zones arrive every ten waves, from the shallows out to the beyond.

There is a daily run on a shared seed, the same field for everyone, once a day, with no streak to protect. Version 2.0 rebuilt the game from the ground up and shipped free to everyone who already owned it: hand-built visuals drawn in code, the original Star Boi soundtrack, 10 achievements, leaderboards, full controller remapping, 8 languages, and an accessibility floor of colorblind modes, reduce motion and flash toggles.
