Here’s a marine biology fact: starfish can grow their arms back if they lose them. Normally this is a slow process, but in Superstar you are a special starfish, with acrobatic and regenerative abilities far outstripping your peers. You find yourself in an aquatic laboratory, with only two goals: traverse and survive.

You’ll lose a few limbs along the way, of course—but sacrifices must be made.

I’m pretty happy with how this turned out—wish I’d had time to do sound and music, but I think the visuals and gameplay are better for it. The difficulty curve is gradual but it does get hard; let me know what your high score is!

Notes

• Some people have hit a bug where when you fall off the bottom of the screen you don’t respawn at the top. I haven’t been able to get this to happen—if you fall and don’t come back, please try restarting the game.
• More people have hit a bug where they end up going sideways at a ridiculous speed. That one I have seen, but I never figured out what was going on with it. Physics engines are fun!
